One of the best-characterized drug targets among coronaviruses, including current SARS-CoV2 causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is the main protease (3CLpro, or Mpro). Our efforts to help fighting the COVID-19 resulted in a number of screening compound libraries, including those specifically focused on cysteine.

Every year on April 25th the World Health Organization highlights the importance and urgency of the global malaria problem by marking the World Malaria Day. To join the worldwide efforts to curb malaria and to support all domains of antimalarial research, Life Chemicals provides a selection of malaria-relevant compounds in its focused screening libraries.

Each year, we commemorate World Tuberculosis (TB) Day on March 24. To make a practical contribution to the World Tuberculosis Day activities worldwide, our Company is offering a number of focused libraries for tuberculosis research and drug discovery.

Life Chemicals provided computational models for the human ALK kinases for its recently published paper and presents a dedicated ALK Tyrosine Kinase Focused Library of potential anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitors by the ligand-based approach.

Rare disease (or «orphan) affects less than 1 person in 2,000. There are over 7,000 known rare diseases and each year dozens more are discovered. In light of the Rare Disease Day 2020, Life Chemicals is offering its screening compound libraries to support drug discovery projects in this field.
