Lead Discovery

A collection of laboratory vials and a storage box. The image features a red box partially open, surrounded by several clear vials with black caps, a tray of vials, and a separate container holding multiple vials in a grid pattern. The items are arranged on a white background.

Once a target protein implicated in a disease has been identified and validated, compound screening is performed to determine how small molecules interact with that specific target protein, by either activating or inhibiting it, for lead identification in drug discovery.

Three chemical structures are depicted on colored geometric backgrounds. On the left, a blue hexagon features “2-Bromo-4-fluoropyridine,” with its corresponding molecular structure showing a pyridine ring with bromine (Br) and fluorine (F) substituents. In the center, a yellow square displays “2,2-Difluoroethylamine,” alongside its molecular formula NH2CHF2. On the right, a purple pentagon presents “1,1,1-Trifluoro-3-methyl-2-butene-1-ol,” with its molecular structure illustrating multiple fluorine (F) atoms and an alcohol group (OH) attached to a branched carbon chain.

To accelerate lead discovery, and thereby the rate of drug discovery, rapid and efficient screening technologies are essential. High-throughput screening (HTS) leverages automation and robotics for the quick analysis of large chemical compound libraries to ultimately detect compounds most suitable to pursue as drug candidates. DNA-encoded library (DEL) screening allows for mass conjugation of small molecule chemical compounds to short DNA fragments, so that a greater number of molecules can be examined for the desired activity and function simultaneously. In structure-based drug design screening, 3D structures of compounds are predicted using in silico techniques where entire libraries are docked into binding sites and the steric and electrostatic affinity between the compounds and target protein are evaluated. The highest-ranked compounds then progress to biological testing.

Hit-to-lead (H2L) research evaluates the pharmacodynamic, physiochemical, and pharmacokinetic properties of hits to identify lead compounds for lead optimization and further analysis as potential candidates for drug development.
