Medicinal Chemistry Research at SteerOn Innovating Drug Discovery

Medicinal chemistry plays an important role in drug discovery, because it focuses on designing and synthesizing novel molecules for developing effective medicines that fight various diseases. By combining chemistry, biology, and computer models, medicinal chemistry helps in making the drugs work better with fewer side effects. At SteerOn Research, we specialize in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the Hit-to-Lead and Lead Optimization stages. We provide reliable medicinal chemistry services in India, where we use SAR (Structure-Activity Relationship) analysis, to speed up drug discovery. Our team of experts uses efficient processes to support research needs and help in the development of new and improved medicines.

Our Medicinal Chemistry Services

Structure-Based & Ligand-Based Drug Design (SBDD & LBDD)

Our medicinal chemistry services also include SBDD, where we use 3D protein structures to design molecules that fit precisely. We also use LBDD, which focuses on optimizing the existing molecules to improve drug efficacy, which helps in the discovery of effective medicines.

Chemical Synthesis & SAR Optimization

Our med chem research also includes chemical synthesis and SAR optimization services, where we synthesize and modify compounds based on Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) analysis and insights. This improves the selectivity and safety of drugs by using iterative processes.

Hit Identification & Lead Generation

We identify promising small molecules (hits) through computer modelling and thorough screening. Our team at SteerOn conducts further testing and refinement process to develop lead compounds with improved activity. This helps by speeding up the drug discovery process for novel therapeutics.

Custom Synthesis for Drug Development

Our team provides custom chemical synthesis solutions to help create unique molecules based on each client’s requirements. With this custom drug development, we ensure purity, reproducibility, and scalability for drug discovery and development.

Our Proven Medicinal Chemistry Workflow From Concept to Clinic

1️. Target Identification & Validation

Before we develop the drugs, we first identify the disease-related targets like proteins or enzymes, and validate their role in the disease. This process helps ensure that the selected target like enzymes is relevant, actionable, and suitable for drug intervention.

2. Hit-to-Lead Optimization

We refine the initial hits into lead compounds by improving their potency, selectivity, and safety in developing new medicines. Using medicinal chemistry research, we improve its drug-like properties to increase the chances of success in later stages of drug development.

3️. Lead Optimization & Preclinical Development

In this process of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, our team optimizes the lead compounds, which refines their pharmacokinetics and toxicity profiles. After the optimization process, candidates undergo preclinical testing to check the efficacy, safety, and overall potential for clinical trials.

4️. IND-Enabling Medicinal Chemistry Studies

We also conduct studies that are required for an Investigational New Drug (IND) application. Here, our team studies in detail the toxicity, stability, and formulation assessments, which helps in maintaining regulatory compliance for human trials.
