Tangible Arrays

Every building block in the Collection is at least 95% pure, as validated by NMR and LC-MS.

In modern drug discovery, biologically relevant compounds are usually generated from high-throughput screening or virtual screening  For a new target, HTS might be the only way to identify bioactive compounds. However, for targets that are well known, retrieval of active compounds by screening tens of thousands to millions of structurally diverse compounds is neither economical nor efficient. Also searching for specific molecules through millions of structures in virtual databases is time consuming.  To accelerate this process, we offer a Tangible Array Program.

Our customers select scaffold (fragment) based on their filter criteria and then we create a relatively small library containing all possible structural combinations. The client then can review these libraries and select specific compounds of his interest. This significantly speeds up the selection process.

Currently our collection covers diverse chemical and pharmacophoric space. Typically, to have good coverage and retain optimal chemical diversity, the size of a set for each selected scaffold varies from 100 to 700 compounds. We prepare these sets on scale, up to 100mg and at the designated purity.
Compounds can be offered on exclusive or non-exclusive bases.

Scaffolds Libraries can be:

  • based on scaffolds of PBMR.
  • based on scaffolds of the customer
  • based on described procedures
