Product news

Peakdale Molecular Ltd has announced the launch of its newly designed website located atwww.peakdale.co.uk. Over the past 6 months, the Company has substantially expanded its medicinal chemistry capabilities and range of products and services for its pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers.

The extended medicinal chemistry services has been specifically designed to complement customers' drug discovery initiatives through hit-to-lead and lead optimisation projects, patent protection projects, back-up chemotypes and fast follower candidate programmes. Peakdale’s full range of products, including peakexplorer™ GPCR libraries, peakfinder™ chemogenetic arrays for drug discovery, unique intermediates and screening compounds are also described in the new website.

“Working with leading biotechs and 18 of the world’s top 20 pharma companies has enabled us to extend our service offering based on feedback from them.” commented Kim Morrison, CEO of Peakdale Molecular. These customers have an ever increasing need to accelerate their drug discovery initiatives and reduce failure rates during development. Our new products and services have been specifically designed to complement our existing range in order to meet this challenge.”

High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines. Find the best high-throughput screening products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Compound LibrariesCompound libraries, or chemical libraries, are used in drug discovery for the identification of potential therapeutics compounds. Used in conjunction with high-throughput screening, the libraries of stored compounds are often generated for specific purposes as a drug target or disease model. Cheminformatics are commonly used when designing a compound library and software can be used to analyze the screening process.  Medicinal ChemistryMedicinal chemistry is a broad discipline encompassing the design, identification, synthesis and development of chemicals in drug discovery. It includes a number of techniques covering structural biology, synthetic chemistry and molecular biology. Technologies used in medicinal chemistry include ADME, lab-on-a-chip, high content screening and assay assembly.High-Content ScreeningHigh-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA), is a high-throughput technique used in drug discovery to identify substances that alter the phenotype of cells. HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling. Find the best fluorescent labeling reagents, cellular assays, and high-content imaging systems in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.
