  • 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.

Design of Hypothesis

We develop hypotheses to optimize hits, focusing on achieving desired potency and efficacy. These designs form the foundation for improving compound attributes in alignment with therapeutic goals.

Multi-Parameter Optimization

Our optimization process addresses multiple parameters, including potency, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profiles, ensuring a balanced refinement of lead compounds for preclinical success.

Optimization Studies

We conduct detailed studies targeting potency, selectivity, in vivo efficacy, PK/PD modeling, safety, and toxicity. This ensures robust data and promising outcomes for each compound.

Early Scale-Up

We perform early-scale synthesis of molecules to support in vivo efficacy and toxicity studies, providing seamless scalability from milligram to gram quantities as needed.

Preclinical Candidate Selection

Our meticulous evaluation and screening processes identify preclinical candidates with the optimal balance of efficacy, safety, and drug-likeness for advancement to the next stage.
