Hit Identification / Characterization

Axcelead will design a robust HTS strategy, starting from assay development through hit characterization, based on 700+ HTS experiences. Using carefully curated library sets from 1.2+ million compounds inherited from a pharmaceutical company, we have achieved a success hit identification rate of 90+%. We also focus on advancing hit compounds to development candidates efficiently. Annotation information from our database, medicinal chemist reviews, and high-throughput ADME tests can be utilized for hit prioritization. Through evaluating similar compounds from our compound library and utilizing high-throughput synthesis platform, we will prioritize the best hit chemotypes ensuring quality Lead Generation start.
