Melatonin (MT) receptors are established drug targets for aligning circadian phase in disorders of sleep and depression. But there are only a few in vivo hits reported to date. Enamine scientists along with the scientists from UCSF, UNC, USC, and other institutions participated in the research study aimed to fill the gap in therapeutics of these receptors.

Optibrium™, BioSolveIT™ and Enamine™ today announce a three-way collaboration enabling efficient search of Enamine’s REAL Space directly from within Optibrium’s StarDrop™ software. This extension to StarDrop is powered by BioSolveIT’s proprietary Feature Trees (FTrees) technology, to search a gigantic chemical space of over 11 billion readily accessible compounds and identify novel compounds that are similar to a query structure of interest. The resulting chemical structures and data are pre-formatted and ready to evaluate using StarDrop’s comprehensive suite of integrated software for small molecule design, optimisation and data analysis.

Cyclica, Inc. announced a collaboration with Enamine Ltd. to explore its huge readily accessible chemical space using Cyclica’s state-of-the-art AI-driven Ligand Design™ platform. The companies aim to empower Cyclica’s patented, evolutionary algorithm with new design options based on the 73,000 Enamine’s in-stock building blocks and 171 thoroughly validated synthesis procedures. The joint effort is expected to enable Cyclica’s Ligand Design™ to identify novel molecules with desired polypharmacological properties out of over 11 billion REAL™ (readily accessible) compounds. At least 80% of these compounds will be synthesized by Enamine within only 3-4 weeks.

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.

Ion Channel Library contains 36 800 compounds.

Protein-Protein Interaction Library has 40 640 compounds including 8 960 Protein Mimetics.

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.

Atomwise, Enamine, and top university researchers collaborate to discovery novel small molecules for the treatment of pediatric cancers using the power of AI and novel chemistry.

Enamine and H. Lundbeck A/S (Lundbeck) announced the expansion of their research collaboration. Enamine will support Lundbeck’s in-house discovery chemistry competencies with three principal assets enabling Lundbeck to optimally identify and develop hit series in its multiple research programs. A large diverse library of 100 000 new screening compounds was done for hit finding activities on numerous therapeutic targets. Enamine’s make-on-demand REAL compounds are for efficient access to billions of novel chemical compounds. Enamine FTE increased dedicated team of chemists to effectively support Lundbeck on all hit related follow-up activities backed by immediate access to over 170 000 building blocks in Enamine’s inventory.

Scientists at the UCSF, together with colleagues at the UNC, created the largest “docking-friendly” database of molecules, based on the Readily Accessible (REAL) compounds from Enamine. Practical validation of the new database was recently published in Nature magazine, demonstrating that it is capable of identifying extremely powerful and synthetically available new hits.

EU-funded project PELICO, under Enamine’s coordination, reports promising results in synthesis of peptides, their pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies, and coupling with photo-controlled building blocks to yield new photo-controlled peptidomimetics.

The demand for library synthesis at Enamine driven by the on-site access to the world’s largest and most reputable stock of building block has multiplied in 2018. We keep developing our preparative chromatography capabilities to sustain the drastically increasing number of compounds produced.

Enamine's chemists and biologists from Bienta just published an article in ACS Comb. Sci. describing design and synthesis of a new sulfonyl-fluoride-based covalent fragment library. The library was validated by screening against a model protease, trypsin, and some fragment hits were identified. See ACS website for more details.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
