Medicinal and Analytical Chemistry

Chemistry Services

Cheminformatics

  • Compound Information Retrieval from Database (e.g. HTS Hits)
  • Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) Analysis
  • Compound Novelty Analysis on Structure & Bioactivity
  • Property Evaluation on Drug Ability (e.g. CLogP, Solubility, etc.)

Cost of cheminformatics will be determined by labor cost.


Medicinal Chemistry

  • Structural Design for Small Molecules, such as Inhibitors, Probes & Activators
  • Synthetic Route Design for Small Molecules
  • Compound Synthesis & Purification (Up to Gram Scale)
  • Combinatorial Small Molecule Library Design & Synthesis

Cost of synthesis will be determined by labor and material cost.


Analytical Chemistry

  • Small Molecule Qualification: Structural Elucidation & Purity Determination
  • Small Molecule Quantification for Metabolites, Biomarkers, etc.
  • Protein, Peptide, & Oligonucleotide Qualification & Quantification

Cost of molecule analysis will be determined by labor, instrument rate and material cost.
