News & Press Releases

Optibrium™ today announced a collaboration with Enamine. The collaboration provides StarDrop™ users with easy access to EnamineStore, a database of their commercially available screening compounds and chemical building blocks. StarDrop has been developed to connect seamlessly with a wide variety of internal and external informatics systems and this latest partnership further extends the wealth of information available to users through StarDrop and its capabilities for small molecule design, optimisation and data analysis in drug discovery.

StarDrop provides free access to the Enamine database to easily search for commercially available compounds and building blocks. Enamine has over 3.3 million screening compounds and a further library of 7.8 million building blocks available to order from EnamineStore. The link enables users not only to search for specific compounds, but also find those that are structurally similar to their most interesting hits and leads or contain relevant substructures. This provides an invaluable tool for researchers to quickly enrich the understanding of their chemical structure-activity relationships.

680 million new compounds: REAL Database doubled its size in the new release and offers 20% off for the selections of analogues made online at EnamineStore.com.

Accessing new chemistry for drug discovery has been recently facilitated by the approach developed by John Irwin et al. (DOI: 10.1021/acs.jcim.7b00316). Combination of Similarity Ensemble Approach (SEA) with the maximum Tanimoto similarity to the nearest bioactive was found to provide efficient prediction for all 400 million commercially available compounds in ZINC database including 340 million Enamine’s REAL compounds. You can access the files at https://zinc15.docking.org and http://files.docking.org/catalogs/20/enamine-v/. REAL compounds will be synthesized at Enamine on your request in less than 3 weeks with over 85% success rate!

Enamine and ChemAxon today announced the launch of jointly-created online resource (available at EnamineStore.com) to allow researchers worldwide to explore the chemical space of REAL database. The resource is aimed to provide the drug discovery community with the efficient solutions in hit-to-lead development. The querying of the chemical space is empowered by ChemAxon’s proprietary fast similarity search tool – MadFast, delivering sub-second response against hundreds of millions of molecules.

Recent publication by our chemists describes gram-scale synthesis and some chemical transformations of novel trifunctional C₂ building blocks – MIDA boronate shown below.

Diamond Light Source (Diamond) and the Structural Genomic Consortium (SGC) Oxford announced today that Enamine will become a key supplier of poised fragment and analogue libraries to its XChem facility. Enamine will offer a new generation of the hit-finding library, Diamond-SGC-iNEXT (DSI) Poised Library to enable fast and productive fragment-based lead discovery (FBLD).

Axxam S.p.A. and Enamine Ltd. announced the start of a Research Collaboration to enhance the Axxam small molecule screening library with the addition of a further set of compounds aimed at early-stage CNS drug discovery, achieving a total library size of ca. 280 000 compounds.

Enamine Ltd. and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) have agreed to establish a collaboration whereby Enamine provides library synthesis, medicinal chemistry and biological services for the discovery and development of novel small molecules against EMBL’s proprietary anti-cancer targets.

Enamine Ltd. has announced that it has agreed to expand its collaboration in early drug discovery with Actelion Pharmaceuticals, covering therapeutic areas including cardiovascular and central nervous system disorders, immunology, infectious diseases and oncology.

Our compound management team at Enamine is excited about the recent acquisition of the Echo® 550 Liquid Handler from Labcyte. This robotic superhero is expected to significantly speed up and notably precise compound handling, which is exactly an option needed for 2.5 Million+ compounds in stock. Screening libraries at Enamine are now more accessible, more customized and assay-ready to meet your exact needs in compound screening.

Enamine and TBD Biodiscovery have entered into a collaboration agreement. The partnership aims to manage the transition of chemical synthesis of novel intermediates from laboratory to bulk scale under GMP standards utilizing Enamine’s know-how and process development expertise. This will help researchers meet the manufacturing feasibility criteria required for drug candidate selection, providing a rapid and cost effective scaled supply of new compounds.

Enamine Ltd., a leading compound supplier and BioSolveIT GmbH, a premium provider of drug discovery software, today announced the availability of the next generation of REAL Space Navigator, an efficient search tool within the world’s largest purchasable chemical space. Originally launched in February this year, Version 2 of REAL Space Navigator now offers ‘search and find’ access to an incredible 3.8 billion small molecular weight compounds ready for purchase.

Enamine and BioSolveIT today announced the launch of the ‘REAL Space Navigator’. Jointly developed, the new software tool capitalizes on Enamine’s REAL (readily accessible) virtual compound concept and provides efficient ‘search & find’ access to more than 640 million pharma-oriented molecules, to date the world's largest chemical space of commercially accessible compounds.

Enamine Ltd. has today announced that it has expanded its collaboration on ZINC, a comprehensive online database of purchasable compounds curated by the Irwin and Shoichet laboratories in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Via ZINC, Enamine will provide researchers at UCSF and the global drug-discovery community with access to the company’s REAL database, a unique database of more than 300 million novel synthetically feasible chemical structures as an efficient source of potential new compounds for a breadth of drug discovery projects.

Reactions conducted in autoclaves are very popular at Enamine because they allow synthesis of unique and novel building blocks that would not be doable otherwise. The key to their successful implementation into every day’s routine are quality pressure reactors that offer safe operations and are inexpensive at the same time.

Enamine is organizing a research workshop within a framework of the company’s participation in a HORIZON-2020 project. The workshop will be held on June 17-19, 2017 in a hotel “Rus” under the supervision of Prof. I.V.Komarov.

Enamine is proud to announce that it has expanded its building blocks storage facility in Cincinnati totaling now 72 000 compounds. This allows Enamine to expedite logistics with its numerous US customers, offering a next-day delivery option for the majority of orders.

Enamine Ltd. and Danish biotech company Pcovery have announced that they have extended their collaboration for the discovery of new drugs for the treatment of invasive fungal infections and platform technology development.

Enamine is announcing the expansion of its building blocks storage in its Cincinnati, logistic center, reaching currently more than 50 000 novel substances, with the plan to reach through its continued efforts at least 60 000 building blocks until the end of 2016. The company fulfills in this way the request of its numerous USA customers to expedite delivery time and fasten projects start.
