The flow of information between chemical and biological research can present a bottleneck in pharmaceutical research. Tools that bridge these disciplines and aid information exchange have therefore clear value. Over the last few years, both synthetic chemistry and biological screening have benefited from automation, and a seamless chemistry–biology interface is now possible. We report here on the use of flow processes to perform synthesis and biological evaluation in an integrated manner. As proof of concept, a flow synthesis of a series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, including zolpidem and alpidem, was developed and connected to a Frontal Affinity Chromatography screening assay to investigate their interaction with Human Serum Albumin (HSA).
化学研究与生物研究之间的信息流可能成为药物研究的瓶颈。因此,连接这些学科和帮助信息交流的工具具有明显的价值。在过去几年中,合成化学和生物筛选都从自动化中获益匪浅,现在已经可以实现化学与生物学的无缝对接。我们在此报告利用流式工艺综合进行合成和生物评估的情况。作为概念验证,我们开发了一系列咪唑并[1,2-a]吡啶(包括唑吡旦和阿吡旦)的流式合成,并将其连接到额式亲和层析筛选测定,以研究它们与人血清白蛋白(HSA)的相互作用。
