Chemical Synthesis


Overview

The primary focus is in synthesizing various molecules showing promising pharmacological activity with minimal toxicity and maximum efficacy. We are actively involved in the below mentioned activities

  • Hit and lead development in various therapeutic areas such as Antifungal, Oncology, metabolic disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, Inflammatory diseases
  • Chemistry services integrated with biological profiling
  • Structure based designing of compound libraries, plant based compounds
  • Green chemistry
  • Process improvements

Research Topics

  • Different approaches for rational drug design with understanding of the therapeutic pathways at molecular level 
  • Concepts of QSAR and molecular modelling for computational drug design 
  • Chemistry of medicinal compounds from natural sources 
  • Methods of structural elucidation for Lead identification and Optimization
  • Development and optimization of synthetic route/​s and the pilot plant procedure for manufacture of APIs and NCEs

We have a list of equipment’s required for chemical synthesis and analysis includes HPLC, HPTLC, FT-IR etc

  • Rotary flash evaporator
  • Cooling Centrifuge

Being Created

  • We intend to procure other equipments/​instruments depending on the requirement.
