SAN DIEGO, Aug. 7 ChemBridge Research Laboratories, Inc.(CRL) announced today that it has established an industry record inturn-around time for hit-to-lead follow-up libraries. Such ultra-fasthit-to-lead libraries are now produced in CRL's San Diego facilities in amatter of three to six days which enables critical acceleration of ourclients' medicinal chemistry projects and sets a new industry benchmark. Thisstate-of-the-art high-throughput chemistry technology was developed at CRLover the last seven years and refined in collaborations with Pfizer, Merck,AstraZeneca and others.

CRL's ultra-fast library production process is optimized at every step andincludes: on-the-fly building block validation and protocol adjustment; one tothree parallel synthesis steps across a very broad reaction range;high-throughput HPLC purification and LC/MS analysis; data processing; androbotic reformatting to ready-to-be-shipped custom plates/vials. Theexpertise, problem solving ability, and versatility of synthetic skills ofCRL's chemists (the majority of whom are PhD's) also allow for rapiddevelopment of new parallel synthetic protocols and multi-step synthesis ofintermediates and templates on-the-fly for the most challengingresearch-intensive hit-to-lead libraries.

"We are very pleased that our CRL chemists have been able to achieve speedand efficiency in hit-to-lead library production which even a year ago was notconsidered possible," said Eugene Vaisberg, Chairman and CEO of ChemBridgeCorporation and CRL. "Their ability to produce and deliver high qualityhit-to-lead libraries in less than a week continues the ChemBridge traditionof setting a gold standard in discovery chemistry outsourcing. It also offersa substantial competitive advantage for our clients allowing their preciousmedicinal chemistry resources to focus on their core expertise and to improvetheir hit-to-drug candidate success rate and timelines. This is of foremostimportance now when research efficiency and productivity becomes the 'name ofthe game' for the pharmaceutical and biotech industry."
