Medicinal chemistry is an integrated discipline which links many scientific fields in new drug research and development. In other words, in this process medicinal chemists apply their chemistry training to the process of synthesizing new pharmaceuticals. Different procedures like the design, optimization and development of chemical compounds are involved. In most cases, it begins with the synthesis of potential drugs and is followed by studies investigating their interactions with biological targets so as to understand the medicinal effects of the drug, its metabolism and side-effects.
“In this field, chemists who focus on drug R&D are also concerned with the isolation of medicinal agents found in plants, as well as the creation of new synthetic drug compounds. Our chemists work in a team full of pharmacologists, theoretical chemists, biologists, toxicologists, microbiologists, and biopharmacists, all coming from different background,” says Mr. Barron Jones, the Marketing Chief of BOC Sciences. “Together, this team uses sophisticated analytical techniques to synthesize and test new drug products and at the same time, to develop the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly means for mass production.”
At BOC Sciences, the following medicinal chemistry services are available:
- Screening Libraries
- Lead Discovery and Optimization
- Computer-Aided Drug Discovery
For hit screening, a series of unique and high-purity compound libraries including HTS libraries, fragment libraries, activity based libraries and custom libraries are specially designed. A comprehensive service range covering hit identification, hit to lead, lead optimization, and chemical resynthesis is offered as well. During those processes, the application of computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) could help advance drug discovery projects, including compound docking, virtual screening, activity prediction, QSAR prediction and physicochemical prediction using theses simulation techniques and software. “Considering all the possible challenges that could arise during the drug development process, our management decides to designate a special branch to be responsible for all these tasks,” further added Mr. Barron Jones.
