Delivering 40 000 compounds to European Lead Factory : Learnings & Achievement Meeting 2017

We showcased the strategy put in place within Edelris to meet the target of delivering 40K innovative compounds to the ELF Public Compound Collection. By using the Lean Six Sigma approach we were able to significantly adjust our production tool, enabling us to reallocate effort to solving other demanding problems such as scaffold validation and additional value adding tasks. Key Performance Indicators have been shared and discussed.

SAHOC2016: [5+2]-Cycloaddition reactions for the generation of diverse 3D-scaffolds and library synthesis

Cycloaddition reactions are highly useful tools to address 3D-rich and functionalized scaffolds. This presentation will show the successful applications of [5+2]-cycloaddition reactions to access library scaffolds containing seven-membered rings. The chemistries were validated by the University of Leeds scientists and after transfer of knowledge to our scientists at EDELRIS, up-scaling and final library syntheses were effectively performed. Hurdles, solutions and outcomes will be discussed.

[3+2]-Cycloaddition reaction: Synthesis of Libraries of Drug-Like pyrrolidine scaffolds

The [3+2]-cycloaddition reaction is a powerful tool to address 3D-rich and highly functionalized scaffolds for chemical library development. Applying this methodology, two diverse pyrrolidine containing scaffolds were designed. The in situ generated nitrone was reacted with N-Boc 2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole and its analog. The obtained isoxazolidine cycloaddition adducts were reduced and functionalized, leading to multiple entry points for diversity generation. Two 500-compound libraries were synthesized, validating the concept.

Scaffold Hopping from Complex 3D Fragments

There is a strong interest for the discovery of novel inhibitors of Caspase-1 (ICE), a protein involved in various inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or psoriasis. In order to develop new inhibitors, we used our EDEN platform (Edelris Discovery ENgine) to successfully explore the possibility to rescaffold competitor's ligands from innovative, 3D-enriched Keymical FragmentsTM.
