In continuation of our efforts to make affordable screening libraries that can quickly be supplied for screening, we have plated two new targeted libraries designed to bring high quality and novelty to your hit finding program. Both freshly-made libraries are ready for fast shipment within only one week in various formats including assay-ready plates.

In a recent JACS paper several academic groups collaborated on discovery of novel covalent inhibitors using a library of 993 acrylamides and chloroacetamides sourced from Enamine’s covalent fragment collection. The design was focusing on mild electrophiles that were supposed to overcome the selectivity challenge. The library was characterized by a new high-throughput thiol-reactivity assay and screened against 10 cysteine-containing proteins. Potent and unique primary hits have been found in the majority (7 out of 10) of cases.
β-Catenin/TCF4 Protein-Protein Interaction Inhibitors library
In order to model the interaction interface between β-catenin and Tcf-4 we used reported structural data (ACS Chem. Biol. 2014, 9, 193−201) to identify critical contacts including intriguing protonated pyridine (cation) – π-interaction between docked ligand and Arg474/515 tweezers. Taking into consideration topology of the hydrophobic pocket and H-bond of the aromatic NH2 group with protein’s Lys508 residue we built a respective pharmacophore model (Fig. 1). Docking and scoring of our medchem screening set (ca. 2 634 231 diverse drug-like compounds) yielded a focused selection of ca. 1 771 prioritized small molecules immediately available for screening.
