Elevating Lead Compounds through Lead Optimization
Lead compounds are molecules that demonstrate promising activity against a target disease or condition, during the early stages of drug discovery. However, these initial compounds often need refinement to enhance their attributes, and address potential drawbacks - our lead optimization service will resolve these issues.
With us, you can modify lead compounds to improve drug-like properties and minimize undesirable effects, this optimization process involves enhancing parameters such as potency, selectivity, pharmacokinetics, and safety profiles.
Lead Optimization Services: Key Aspects
- Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) Analysis: correlation between a compound’s chemical structure and its biological activity, through systematic modifications to specific chemical groups, researchers can determine the impact of structural changes on the compound’s potency and selectivity. SAR analysis assists in the iterative compound optimization process.
- PK PD and Toxicity Studies: Assessing the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of a compound is an integral part of our lead optimization service. Identification of potential issues early on, modify the compound’s structure to achieve optimal drug-like properties. Additionally, toxicity studies are conducted to ensure the compound’s safety for human use, beyond efficacy, optimization encompasses various aspects of a compound’s behaviour and characteristics.
- Biological Evaluation and In Vivo Assays: Rigorous testing is conducted on lead compounds against the target disease or condition using various biological assays, these assays offer insights into the compound’s mechanism of action and its effect on disease-related pathways. Through iterative testing, the characteristics of the lead compound can be refined to attain desired therapeutic outcomes.
