DDC – Medicinal Chemistry Center

The DDC Medicinal Chemistry provides synthesis of small molecules that have been identified as bioactive, development of lead and probe molecules for target identification, hit-to-lead optimization to improve drug-like properties, construction of libraries of small molecules, and large-scale preparative synthesis to support animal model studies. Evaluation of in vitro and in vivo pharmacology is provided through in-house assays and contracts maintained with external contract research organizations.
