Hit-to-Lead Optimization

INQUIRY

The hit-to-lead optimization is a critical step to advance the molecules that have desired effects on its target into lead compounds with the required potency and pharmacokinetic properties for translation. Scientists take full advantages of massive DEL screening information for further detecting target pockets and providing composite optimization directions.

Our Services of Hit-to-Lead Optimization

At BOC Sciences, our compound optimization is driven by the structure-signal relationship (SSR) analysis. SSR is performed on the basis of the same compound family, which means that the same chemical components involved in the compound are highly similar and they are related to the same biological activity.

Our analysis workflow is shown below:

  • Similarity search for confirmed hits.
  • Substitution diversity analysis and detailed substitution analysis.
  • Interaction preferences:

Amendable to smaller alkyl substitution.

Strict requirement of linkage.

Some tolerance in heterocycle replacement.

Our Capabilities of Hit-to-Lead Optimization Services

We can utilize the obtained information from the structure-signal relationship to optimize the direction and actual selection of the structure.
