With more than 70 FDA-approved small molecules ,kinase inhibition continues to attract significant investment. Identification and characterization of novel inhibitors is a challenging, yet critical task which sets the tone for future successes and failures. Traditional single shot approaches do not meet current requirements for machine learning and carry significant risks of false negatives. Hit profiling has evolved this concept, generating potency estimates, reducing risks while providing contextual confidence. Accurate hit identification followed by high resolution, kinetic molecular profiling enhances outcomes ensuring better data-driven decision-making earlier in the process, saving time and resources, leading to superior molecular design.

Read moreCrystallisation is of vital importance to the drug development pipeline of the pharmaceutical industry due to the existence of multiple crystal forms (e.g. cocrystals, solvates and polymorphs) of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The physical properties of the crystal form of an API are important in manufacturing, API stability and can have significant impact on the rate of API uptake from the solid form (e.g. from a tablet), ultimately influencing both its formulation chemistry and the pharmacokinetics of the API.
Read morePolymorphism is a solid-state phenomenon where a chemical species may adopt different conformational or packing arrangements, therefore allowing for the formation of more than one distinct crystal structure. Crystal polymorphs can exhibit varying physical and chemicalproperties. These properties such as solubility, hardness, colour, and melting point can all be important in the design of a compound in the crystal engineering and pharmaceutical industries. Typically, conducting polymorph screens requires a combination of classical crystallisation techniques which demand both large quantities of material and time to complete. Herein, we describe how encapsulated nanodroplet crystallisation (ENaCt) can be applied for low-quantity rapid polymorph screening using highly polymorphic 5-methyl-2-[(2-nitrophenyl)amino]-3-thiophenecarbonitrile (ROY) and nicotinamide as test compounds. ENaCt polymorph screening resulted in the growth, and analysis, of single crystals of a new polymorph of ROY ‘O22’. Crystal forms of both ROY and nicotinamide previously thought to be inaccessible to solution-phase crystallisation were also successfully grown, highlighting the capabilities of ENaCt for screening a diverse polymorphic landscape.
