Library screening is a crucial step in drug discovery, enabling the rapid identification of promising compounds and accelerating the transition from ideas to validated hits.

Our proprietary 8-million-compound in silico library is optimized for high-through put virtual screening and real-world synthesis.

Every library entry is carefully curated using strict physicochemical property filters and excludes compounds with unsuitable functionalities from commercial sources, ensuring synthetic feasibility and drug-like properties. This strategic approach accelerates synthesis in our High Throughput Chemistry (HTC) lab, enabling rapid Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) investigations across multiple discovery phases and paving the way for innovative structures in lead optimization. For projects requiring novelty, we design custom libraries enriched for specific target classes and IP-space coverage, helping you explore chemical space strategically and gain a competitive edge.

Methods for Compound Library Design :

We use in silico approaches to design focused arrays of compounds for parallel synthesis. Starting with curated reagent sets, we enumerate compounds accessible through current chemistry and prioritize them for synthesis using:

– Clustering

– Filtering based on desired properties

– Docking sores

– Pharmacophore fit


We can also design libraries to cover intellectual property space, giving you an edge in novelty and patentability.
