-
Boehringer Ingelheim Open Source Thirty-one bioactive compounds.
-
Chemical Degraders (1138 compounds total over four 384-well plates, 10 mM stock concentration) Each molecule has two binding regions- a constant domain for degradation machinery binding and a variable domain to explore small changes in chemical structure that alter substrate specificity. When a new protein substrate binds the variable domain with sufficient affinity, it will be degraded, resulting in a phenotypic change for essential functions. Due to smaller size, this library is recommended for cell-based phenotypic screening to increase the number of potential targets.
Fragment Collections
-
Enamine Covalent Fragments Library. This collection consists of 799 compounds at 200 mM with a diverse core and attached acrylamide. The acrylamide enables the diverse cores to covalently label biological nucleophiles, predominantly sulfur, via a conjugate addition. The advantage of the acrylamide electrophile over other covalent fragment library chemistries is its stability in aqueous media at wide pH and a high specificity for sulfur nucleophiles. This library would be a choice where a reactive site cysteine or a free cysteine in your biological target is predicted to interfere with function. Calculated properties are MW 147-315, ClogP < 3, TPSA 20-92 sq. Angstroms.
-
Maybridge Ro3 Library. Maybridge Ro3 library contains 2,500 carefully selected fragments, and provides the optimal balance between broad coverage of lead-like diversity space and the number of fragments required to be screened. Key features and benefits include Rule of Three (Ro3) compliance, increased diversity, experimentally measured solubility (1 mM solubility in PBS guaranteed), exceptional chemical matter quality and purity, and chemical functionality selected to allow rapid chemical evolution and optimization of fragment hits. Collection is eight 384-well plates.

YCMD has assembled almost 300,000 synthetic small molecules from a variety of different commercial vendors. Selection of compound collections aimed to optimize diversity and chemical space, and retain drug like characteristics.
-
Life Chemicals Diversity. This unique and highly curated non-proprietary collection consists of 126,320 compounds which should serve as excellent drug leads and molecular probes. The library was selected from approximately 2 million available compounds to meet stringent criteria including ClogP < 5, TPSA 35 - 100 Angstroms and MW 300 - 450. The collection was also filtered to exclude pan assay interference compounds (PAINS) and compounds with reactive, unstable and other undesirable functionalities.
-
Life Chemicals FSP3. A collection of 25,246 compounds with a high percentage of sp3 (more 3D-like) versus sp2 (more planar) carbons. This collection represents a very high-quality set for lead finding with low aromatic character.

The collection was also filtered to exclude pan assay interference compounds (PAINS) and compounds with reactive, unstable and other undesirable functionalities.
