Combinatorial Library

Inquiry

Compared to traditional synthetic chemistry, combinatorial chemistry synthetic methods allow a very large number of molecules to be synthesised much more rapidly and at lower cost. Combinatorial chemistry libraries are commonly represented by one or more structures with a small number of R-group positions. And there are lists of alternative groups for each R-group position. Peptides and oligonucleotides are firstly synthesized using combinatorial library approaches. Since then, proteins, synthetic oligomers, small molecules, and oligosaccharides are produce successfully with this powerful tool. In general, the method applied for library preparation depends on the type of library desired. All combinatorial library methods include the following three main steps: library preparation, library components screening, and chemical structures of active compounds determination. The goal of chemical compound library design is to reduce the number of molecules as well as maintain the diversity of the library. Combinatorial library therefore has the potential of finding leads more rapidly since only a smaller number of molecules are required to be tested by avoiding molecules which are very similar.

Application of Combinatorial Library

  • Virtual screening with molecular docking
  • Virtual screening using pharmacophore technology
  • Virtual screening using molecular shape and electrostatic technology
  • Use QSAR model or other models to predict the activity of compounds

Combinatorial Library Design Process

At Alfa Chemistry, we synthesize a compound library by drawing a reaction route, enumerate the reactants through chemoinformatics technology, and use multiple molecular fingerprint to allow various reagents and intermediates to 'react' and finally obtain a virtual product library, which is also called combinatorial library.

1) Read into the reagent compound database.
2) Use SMARTS language to identify the reactants in the reagent database, and calculate the number of groups for each compound.
3) Use SMARTS language to establish reaction and product.
4) Calculation and filtration of the physical and chemical properties of the product.
5) Save the product in sdf format.

Our Services

At Alfa Chemistry, we mainly support common combinatorial library construction and centralized combinatorial library design.

  • Common combinatorial library construction

We use combinatorial library enumerator to build medium-scale combinatorial library, which supports symmetric substitution, peptide substitution, double hook connection, loop generation and chirality.

  • Centralized combinatorial library design

At Alfa Chemistry, the product-based method is applied to design the centralized library, and the reactants are sorted according to the probability of being part of the active compound. The sorting principle is developed based on linear or binary QSAR, fingerprint, pharmacophore, fingerprint or comprehensive model. We use Monte Carlo technology to avoid enumeration traversal, which is suitable for effectively sorting reactants in the design of very large virtual libraries.
