News & Press Releases

The situation in Kyiv keeps improving day by day, shops and restaurants are re-opening and people are returning to their homes in a continuous stream. More and more chemists come back to their labs and resume their projects at Enamine. Currently, over 300 chemists are already back to work, and we estimate this number to grow up to 400-500 colleagues within the next couple of weeks. We have restored the synthesis of building blocks, REAL Compounds, as well as custom synthesis, including FTE research projects in our Kyiv’s facility. Along with our absolute capacity to resynthesize building blocks in larger amounts as before, the resumption of the supplies from Ukraine has allowed us to return 2.5-, 5-, and 10-gram amounts to our building block catalog. Following our contingency plan at the war outbreak, we completely switched to supplies from our warehouses in US and Latvia, both largely limited to the 1-gram batch size. Now, we are resuming supplies of the larger amounts from our Kyiv stock and via resynthesis! Please check our offer at https://enaminestore.com/.

The quick supply of the building blocks is crucial. Even though the infrastructure in Ukraine has been significantly damaged during the war and despite express courier services have been suspended for the time being, our logistics specialists have organized a 3-day ground transportation route from Kyiv to our EU-based site in Latvia. This means that delivery time from Ukraine to your lab will be cut down to around 7-10 days very soon. Delivery time from US and EU local stores is as always 1-2 days.

We are looking forward to receiving your new inquiries and orders! This is the best way you can help us.

Faithfully Yours,
Enamine Team

Dear Colleagues, Customers, and Friends,

It has been 43 days.

Forty-three days with thousands of bombs, shells, and missiles fired out at our cities and villages, thousands of destroyed buildings, bridges, streets, thousands of killed people. And there are to be feared thousands of victims yet to come as the war continues with a new focus to the East of our country, the war for democracy to prevail against dictatorship and tyranny, the war of the civilized world against the paranoiac barbarians, the war of good against evil. Russia commits genocide against Ukrainians, terrorizes the population, and engages in looting. Nowadays after the crimes in Chernihiv and Kharkiv, after the massacre in Bucha, Irpin and Borodyanka, everybody understands: the world appears to be once again black and white these days and one can see clearly who stands on the side of Ukraine.

I am thankful to the countries and businesses that support Ukraine. I thank those of you who provide donations and help our refugees, everyone who decided to stop paying taxes and operation in Russia, and everyone who just spreads the truth and makes others aware of it. It is hard to overestimate the importance of knowing and feeling that we are not alone in our fight for freedom.

The situation in Kyiv has significantly improved and normalized for the past 2 weeks, so is the west part of our country. We are glad to see that several countries are re-opening their embassies in Kyiv. The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, will visit Kyiv in the coming days. This shows optimal level of safety for our employees notably, and that the city returns to normal life. Following the call of our President and Prime minister to resume operations where and when it is possible, in compliance with strict safety regulations ruled by our local authorities, we, Team Enamine including already over 300 chemists, have collectively decided to get back to work in Kyiv. Indeed, gradually, since not all the chemistry can be performed right now, e.g., we avoid performing large-scale synthesis. We also expect some delays with purification and delivery for the first period, being determined to solve these issues as soon as possible with the drastically improving situation. We confirm that a major part of our synthetic operations can be performed, and that our chemists and biologists are ready and motivated to work on your projects and tasks.

Now I personally address these words to you, our valued customers and supporters. Please kindly consider resuming ordering our products and services and let us just do in that manner what we love and are best at: the synthesis. Please help us to restart the work at our full steam on custom synthesis, FTE projects and synthesis of make-on-demand building blocks. We are delighted to continue working with our established customers and are most happy to start new collaborations as we are solicitated.

Continuing ordering our compounds and services is the best support because it allows us to operate and keep our employees, our business and Ukraine strong, beside the other key reason of expediting uniquely your valuable research programs with the Art of Enamine.

Thank you!

Slava Ukraini!

Andrey Tolmachov
Founder and CEO of Enamine

Dear Customers, Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,

The war in our country lasts more than 10 days. We have put on hold most of our operations in Kyiv and ask our customers to wait until this situation is resolved. We thank all of you for your patience. During this time, we have been able to estimate our resources, capabilities, and plan next steps to be done. Now I would like to highlight some of them:

Dear Customers, Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends, 

When I started the company after the USSR collapse there were just a couple of labs in the academic institute. Nowadays my company is well known around the world. 

Cambridge, England, and Kyiv, Ukraine, December 20, 2021 -- Cambridge Molecular, a leading provider of machine learning and data science services for DNA-Encoded Libraries, announces a collaboration with Enamine, a pioneer in the creation of ultra-large chemical spaces of highly feasible compounds. Enamine is supported by the highly capable IT platform of Chemspace, an online chemical marketplace leader and experienced provider of compound sourcing and procurement services. The partners will apply Cambridge Molecular's deep learning DEL follow-up tool DeepDELve 2 to the world’s largest catalogue of small molecules provided by Chemspace including 20 billion compounds from Enamine’s REAL^® Space.

Kyiv, Ukraine, 22 November 2021. Recently, Prof. Magolan and coworkers from McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) reported that hexafluoroisopropyl sulfamate (HFIPS) is a convenient reagent for the sulfamoylation of alcohols and amines (Org. Lett. 2021, 23, 3373–3378). HFIPS has also been used for metal-catalyzed C–H aminations (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 5783–5789) and for the synthesis of aziridines using silver catalysis (Synthesis 2018, 50, 4462–4470) or electrochemical conditions (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2018, 57, 5695–5698). Enamine has adapted and scaled-up the published procedure to synthesize HFIPS and make it more accessible to scientists worldwide. The reagent is now available in Enamine’s catalogue in multigram quantities.

Kyiv, Ukraine, 18 October 2021. Several months ago, Prof. Levin and co-workers from University of Chicago developed an elegant method for the “skeletal editing” of organic molecules by nitrogen atom deletion (see Nature 2021, 593, 223–227). Their strategy included the use of an anomeric N-pivaloyloxy-N-alkoxyamide amide as the key reagent. Enamine, the world-leading compound supplier, is proud to announce that this reagent has been just added to the company’s product catalog. The compound is now available from the company’s stock in multigram quantities.

A group of scientists led by Qubit cooperated on computer-driven de novo design of potential active molecules, with the subsequent synthesis of the most promising inhibitors by Enamine and their in vitro activity testing at Università degli Studi di Padova.

SANTA FE, N.M., USA, & KYIV, Ukraine – September 9, 2021 – OpenEye Scientific and Enamine, a leading global provider of billions of new screening compounds to the drug discovery market, are partnering to enable faster and more accurate virtual screening of ultra-large compound libraries through access to innovative software.

We are proud to announce that our covalent compound library is now available in a ready-to-dock format for BioSolveIT’s drug design dashboard SeeSAR. Over 20 different warheads were processed and translated to their respective ligand-bound form to assess their binding mode after docking.

Kyiv, Ukraine, June 24, 2021. Enamine Ltd. a provider of drug discovery services empowered with the world’s largest collections of building blocks, fragments, and screening compounds announced today that it forms a strategic alliance with Chemspace, an online marketplace leader for small molecules, and will use the company as its exclusive aggregator platform to supply worldwide all its catalogue products starting from January 1, 2022. Chemspace will be the only online commercial resource in the world that will enable accessing and searching all Enamine’s catalogs. Enamine will continue direct supplies to the drug discovery community and at the same time will cease its historical collaborations with all other compound aggregator platforms.
