Advancing Small Molecule Program from Hit to Candidate - WebinarPosted by Abhishek Kumar on December 2nd, 2020 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:
