Drug Scaffolds
At Syncore Labs, we have designed
and synthesized over 300 novel and drug-like scaffolds. We
can also design and synthesize novel scaffolds tailored to your need. Please
feel free to contact us for your drug discovery needs.
Scaffolds are usually rigid, hetero-cycle based structures with functional
groups that can be further modified. A large number of marketed drugs
contain core scaffolds, for example, Atorvastatin, Sildenafil, and
Erlotinib, to name a few. It appears that the major role of the scaffold
in a drug molecule is to position those attached functional groups
in a right direction and facilitate their proper interaction with
biological targets. Therefore, tuning scaffolds is a proven strategy
to discover drugs with improved therapeutic index.
