Our Expertise in Discovery Chemistry
Pioneering innovative solutions for drug discovery and development.

Discovery Chemistry
At Alentris Synthesis, we lead the way in drug discovery chemistry services, leveraging the exceptional expertise of our scientists and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Our team of drug discovery chemists possesses extensive experience, particularly in multi-step organic synthesis across diverse therapeutic domains. Their contributions are integral to our comprehensive and synergistic discovery programs, driving innovative and effective solutions for our clients.
- We provide route design and synthesis support for “Novel Chemistry Targets” under CDA and MSA agreements. Our approach focuses on creating libraries and diverse scaffolds of desired skeletons to support New Chemical Entities (NCEs).
- We specialize in the synthesis of multi-step complex molecules at milligram to gram scales, enabling clients to quickly evaluate metabolic stability and the bioactivity of lead compounds.
- The targets under our Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) services are produced swiftly to support clients’ NCE (New Chemical Entity) and NDDS (Novel Drug Delivery System) projects.
- We support the synthesis of challenging and rare-to-make chemistry molecules under this category of service.
- We deliver chemistry targets with exceptional speed, ensuring >95% purity by LCMS and clean, accurate HNMR data.
Hit to Lead
At Alentris Synthesis, our seasoned scientists leverage years of expertise in drug discovery to transform hits into high-potency leads, accelerating their progression to the lead optimization phase. Our meticulous evaluation process examines hits for critical factors such as potency, selectivity, and drug-likeness, ensuring that only the most promising compounds move forward.
With our extensive drug discovery experience, we excel in designing analogs with enhanced drug-likeness, adding significant value to each program.
Route Scouting and Focused Library Synthesis
Our expertise includes route scouting and the synthesis of focused libraries, providing a versatile toolkit to explore and generate compounds of interest efficiently and effectively.
Lead Optimization
Using identified lead compounds from the hit-to-lead stage, our scientists optimize and evaluate leads through comprehensive screening studies, preparing them for preclinical development. This process ensures high-quality candidates for drug development.
