High-Potency Chemical Probes

Chemical probes are specific small molecules used in biological research to investigate the function and behavior of biomolecules within cells or organisms. These probes are designed to interact with their target molecules in a highly selective and often reversible manner, enabling researchers to modulate the activity of the target and study its biological effects. It is a gateway to understanding fundamental biological processes, aiding in developing first-in-class drugs.

Library of High-Potency Chemical Probes is a collection of 67 compounds designed to advance the field of drug discovery and biological research. This library stands out for the stringent selection criteria, focusing on compounds with exceptional potency (pX ≥ 7) and selectivity (≥ 1.5 pX), ensuring the highest level of precision in modulating biological targets. This precision makes them invaluable for complementing traditional target validation methods and disease pathology.
