Advancing Small Molecule Program From Hit To Candidate (Webinar)

Case Study: Small molecule inhibitors of NMMT for treatment of metabolic disorders. End Quote

San Diego, CA (1888PressRelease) November 12, 2020 - Webinar Date: Tuesday, 8th December 2020, 11:00am EST / 8:00am PST

The small molecule program was started with the aim to identify lead series and lead compounds for the inhibition of NNMT to treat metabolic disorders. The project team faced numerous challenges during the program such as a moderate ADME profile of the starting compounds, establishing biochemical assays for the target and several selectivity assays, establishing target engagement and efficacy models, and such. In this webinar, we will be discussing the strategic workflows to overcome such challenges, our project journey, and the swift successful delivery of a lead series and lead compounds.

Our 4D focused project approach, attributed premier importance to scientific value addition, driving scientific insights about the metabolic therapeutic domain – pharmacological benefits in vivo. In addition, we offer a platform for all the attendants to share their best practices, experiences, and bring in their queries.

Webinar Takeaways:
· Overcoming Hit to Lead challenges
· Deciding on the best approach
· Fast-tracking Milestone achievement
