CHAMPS D’EXPERTISE
Compound Library, chemical biology, screening, organic synthesis, SAR, structural optimization, custom synthesis
ACTIVITES DE RECHERCHE / SERVICES
The ICBMS compound library was created in 2001 to promote the screening of Lyon 1 University synthetic compound collection and to be in charge of hit-to-lead optimization process and various studies (synthesis of focused libraries, SAR models…) in collaboration with researchers in the fields of biology and biochemistry.
Currently, we offer two distinct technical ressources/services :
1) The Lyon 1 Compound Library: a collection of +3500 selected synthetic compounds (large chemical space, mostly non-commercial and highly original) in a format suitable for manual or automated screening
2) Our custom chemical synthesis services :
- Synthesis of various small molecules (API and bioactives, analytical standards, impurities, building blocks and reagents…)
- Use of various research areas available at ICBMS (with expertise in heterocyclic and organometallic chemistry, catalysis)
- Medicinal chemistry (SAR, analogues) and design of synthesis route
- Optimization and upscaling (from mg to g/kg) for non-GMP applications
Our fields of research and collaborations are mainly related to:
- oncology (design of TRAIL inducing molecules in cancer cells, kinase inhibitors…),
- rare diseases, antiparasitic or antibacterial compounds, inflammatory and cellular necrosis related disorders.
