Brief Profile

Life Chemicals, Inc. was launched in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, in 2004, as an overseas headquarters to expand operations of Life Chemicals, Ltd., Kyiv, Ukraine. However, a proud story of about 30 years of global success and the highest professional reputation began as early as 1995 with a small R&D laboratory, I.F.Lab, started in Kyiv by Dr. Volodymyr Fetyukhin.

Entering the international drug discovery market with only a compact catalogue of original chemical compounds and customized services, Dr. Fetyukhin has built up and diversified his business, opening a number of new enterprises involved in advanced organic synthesis.

As a parent company, today Life Chemicals has become a well-known trademark to stand for a premium fully integrated platform for drug discovery, producing and supplying HTS compounds, and providing custom synthesis and computational chemistry services to pharmaceutical, biotech, agrochemical companies, universities, and academic institutions across the globe.

Life Chemicals has associated and headquartered a number of partnering R&D chemical companies, namely, I.F. Lab, Spoluka, SynbiaS, Life Chemicals USA, Life Chemicals Europe, Life Chemicals China, to operate as an integral whole where every single company is focused on its individual range of products and services and, at the same time, all are motivated by their common goal – confident present and future market position to keep in the forefront of HTS drug discovery.

In terms of this association, Life Chemicals has performed sales, supply, customer support, and coordination. Today, the Company is a fully integrated platform for early drug discovery, providing a complete range of contract research and manufacturing services. Our broadly recognized expertise in organic chemistry and ever-growing synthetic and analytical capacities have allowed us to successfully carry out complex forefront tasks in custom synthesis of drug-like compounds and advanced building blocks in quantities, ranging from multi-gram to multi-kilogram, as well as provide innovative design and synthesis of combinatorial libraries, route scouting and product scale-up.

Life Chemicals proficiency in computational chemistry, the skillful introduction of AI-driven approaches, and employment of versatile in silico techniques, such as similarity and pharmacophore search, molecular descriptor analysis, molecular docking, virtual screening, and protein modeling, have enabled the pioneering design of in-house fragment collections, targeted and focused libraries and customized sets of compounds, as well as AI-driven de novo compound generation.

A comprehensive understanding of the drug discovery process, with computer-assisted approaches today being its indispensable part, as well as our knowledge of medicinal chemistry and solid scientific background sustained by modern production facilities, have created a profound basis and infrastructure to offer efficient solutions for R&D programs of our customers, covering hit-to-lead and lead optimization, improvement of drug potency, selectivity and ADMET properties, development of QSAR models and medicinal chemistry design.

Within its multinational structure, the Company has got a network of its regional sales representatives.
