Facility Details

The Synthetic Medicinal Chemistry Laboratory is a university-based drug discovery facility with a state-of-the-art infrastructure for pharmaceutical research. The Core provides medicinal, synthetic, and combinatorial chemistry support for Core B (HTS) and COBRE investigators. The support involves the optimization of compounds for potency, and selectivity by the following:

Preparing targeted libraries for screening and
lead optimization
Synthesizing organic compounds on various scales
(from mg to multi-gram)
Assisting COBRE investigators and other
university investigators, if requested, in the
design of novel ligands and in the development
of practical synthetic routes.
