Hit Locator Library

BOC Sciences has designed a unique Hit Locator Library to represent our screening compound collections which is enriched with newly synthesized compounds, aiming to provide clients with obvious advantage to obtain the most promising hit compounds in primary screening campaigns. BOC Sciences has therefore designed a large and highly diverse screening set containing more than 200,000 novel screening compounds.

Application of Hit Locator Library

• Provide the most reliable source of initial hits
• Deliver immediate SAR data and scaffold-secured after the first screening
• Hit confirmation & follow-up support

Hit Locator Library Design

• A diversity of filters are applied such as MedChem filters, PAINS, to maintain the highest level of diversity
• Clustering is also performed allowing dissimilarity distance cut off 0.4 between cluster centroids and maximum similarity between compounds within one cluster (min 75% similarity)
• The resulting diversity set can be further examined using Tanimoto similarity approach and compared to commercially available screening compounds from 33 vendors

Features of Hit Locator Library

• BOC Sciences can provide customized library design services in compliance with individual client’s requirements
• Our library contains lead-like molecules only
• Every compound in the library passes stringent MedChem filters and quality controls
• Visual inspection of a substance is applied to ensure the quality
• Track data more securely than any other data from the commercial diversity library
• Our library focuses on immobilization on lead-like molecules to provide more space for the evolution of identified hits
• We focus on robust synthetic chemistry to complete the synthesis of the scaffold or its derivatization
• With over 25 years of experience in synthetic chemistry, we are able to rate molecules by synthetic feasibility, which has been used as an additional assessment in our Hit Locator Library design
• Custom compound selection based on specific parameters can be performed on request
• Cherry-picking service is provided

What We Deliver

• Delivered within 2 weeks in any customer-preferred format
• Powders, dry films or DMSO solutions formatted in vials, 96 or 384-well plates
• All compounds have a minimum purity of 90% assessed by ¹H NMR
