Early Stage: Hit-to-Lead

The initial step in bringing a target compound to market involves identifying small molecule hits using various paradigm. These hits are then further developed and optimized to identify promising lead compounds.

Services we provide include:

  • Analysis of high throughput screening (HTS) or virtual screening/assay results, including preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) evaluation, physical-chemical properties, identifying hit clusters, etc.
  • Risk assessment, including structural liabilities and PAINS analysis
  • Triage of hits generated through AI tools, and recommend targets for synthesis
  • Hit confirmation: resynthesis/purification for confirming the structure and activity of hits
  • Hit expansion by synthesis of selected analogs to evaluate scaffolds and explore basic SAR
  • Preliminary assessment of ADME profile
  • Select lead series (3-5 series) based on SAR and ADME results
