Enamine Operation Update, May 11

We are glad to inform you that we have fully restored the scope of our building block catalog as it was before the 24th of February war outbreak. The catalog lists over 238 000 off-the-shelf products. Such items are again offered in the various batch sizes reaching up to 100 grams in many cases to give you full scale of choice for your projects. Please visit https://enaminestore.com/catalog to make structure searches and order online.

Enamine Operation Update, April 13

The situation in Kyiv keeps improving day by day, shops and restaurants are re-opening and people are returning to their homes in a continuous stream. More and more chemists come back to their labs and resume their projects at Enamine. Currently, over 300 chemists are already back to work, and we estimate this number to grow up to 400-500 colleagues within the next couple of weeks. We have restored the synthesis of building blocks, REAL Compounds, as well as custom synthesis, including FTE research projects in our Kyiv’s facility. Along with our absolute capacity to resynthesize building blocks in larger amounts as before, the resumption of the supplies from Ukraine has allowed us to return 2.5-, 5-, and 10-gram amounts to our building block catalog. Following our contingency plan at the war outbreak, we completely switched to supplies from our warehouses in US and Latvia, both largely limited to the 1-gram batch size. Now, we are resuming supplies of the larger amounts from our Kyiv stock and via resynthesis! Please check our offer at https://enaminestore.com/.

The quick supply of the building blocks is crucial. Even though the infrastructure in Ukraine has been significantly damaged during the war and despite express courier services have been suspended for the time being, our logistics specialists have organized a 3-day ground transportation route from Kyiv to our EU-based site in Latvia. This means that delivery time from Ukraine to your lab will be cut down to around 7-10 days very soon. Delivery time from US and EU local stores is as always 1-2 days.

We are looking forward to receiving your new inquiries and orders! This is the best way you can help us.

Faithfully Yours,
Enamine Team

A Very Important Paper by Enamine scientists

Controlling Biological Activity with Light: Diarylethene-Containing Cyclic Peptidomimetics
Oleg Babii, Sergii Afonin, Marina Berditsch, Sabine Reisser, Pavel K. Mykhailiuk, Vladimir S. Kubyshkin, Thomas Steinbrecher, Anne S. Ulrich and Igor V. Komarov
Angewandte Chemie International Edition 2014 53 (13), 3392–3395

Enamine scientists in collaboration with research at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany) published a study on antibiotics activated by light. It deals with synthesis of analogues of the antimicrobial peptide gramicidin S which conformations can be switched by light. This property was rendered by incorporation in its structure of an amino acid designed based on a photoisomerizable diarylethene scaffold. The biological activity of the resulting peptidomimetics can be reversibly controlled by ultraviolet/visible light.

Success of Enamine’s innovative product pipeline and service portfolio is based on the commitment of the company to the scientific research. Enamine caries out and supports research projects within the company as well as off-site in collaboration with many academic centers in Ukraine and abroad. About 30 scientific papers were published by Enamine scientists in renowned scientific journals in 2013.

Selected Building Block Series

With development of on-line chemical directories acquiring necessary reagents and building blocks for day-to-day research activity has become a technical routine. Many thousands of building blocks are now available in the market and sub-structure search can efficiently provide a selection of reagents to buy. However, this approach might be limited. With over 80,000 building blocks synthesized and now available from our stock we are a recognized leader in the market. Our catalog features versatile building block classes and adds 1,000 products each month. Although they all are available for purchase through EnamineStore and many public or corporate chemical databases we wanted to gather together the most interesting and recently prepared building blocks to provide a series of useful guides to a novel and innovative chemistry. First five brochures have been published to highlight our rich collections of Advanced Morpholine Analogues, Bicyclic Aliphatic Amines, Fluorinated Aliphatic Amines, Isocyanates, Isothiocyanates, and Trifluoroethyl Carbamates, and Sulfonyl Chlorides and other Sulfonylating Agents.

Enamine Operation Update, May 5

Since our return to the labs 1 month ago, we have managed to restore and catch up with practically all our synthesis and stock operations. We are extremely grateful for your being with us during these difficult times. We were happy to receive your messages of strong support and orders, demonstrating your continuous trust in Enamine. It means a lot to all of us, and it helped our quick rebirth.

Now more than 400 chemists have returned to our labs, among whom 150 as FTE’s in your research projects. Each week more chemists join back their FTE team structures. In early 2022, the company made a strategic supply of reagents and solvents so that we can continue self-sufficient synthesis activities for many months. Furthermore, most recently, significant progress has been made in receiving again goods and starting materials in Ukraine. Our newly established small synthesis lab in Latvia operates now in parallel to the Kyiv-based ones and will be happy to welcome new FTE clients.

Our parallel synthesis lab is capable now of setting up 1 400 - 1 500 syntheses per day, the rate that allows the synthesis of a few thousand REAL Compounds in a 2-month project. There is no limitation to the library size to request. As we used to encounter difficulties in dealing with the end-of-the-year REAL Compound orders always arriving in numbers, we would like to encourage you to send your requests as soon as possible and book our optimally available capacities in advance!

Enamine chemists back on creative spree. A few latest additions to our Building Block catalog

Enamine has resumed internal synthesis programs targeting to replenish and expand our catalog of Building Blocks. The strategic goal is to replicate our stock of BBs and make it evenly represented in all our three warehouses: in the US, in Latvia, and in Ukraine. The first step in this direction was made when we shipped sizeable selections of building blocks to our stocks abroad. Now our chemists are busy in resynthesizing them.

All our stock catalogs including building blocks, screening compounds, fragments, and plated compound libraries are readily available for your analysis and fully operatable. Our delivery times improve every week!

20 April 2022

Enamine Operation Update, April 20

As of today, 17 countries among which France, Italy, and Austria to name a few, along with the European Union have sent their diplomats back to Kyiv, reopening their embassies, a vote of confidence that the Russia’s assault against the Ukrainian capital city and its region is over. This important symbolic and solidarity step from our allies makes clear that the necessary safety in Kyiv is returning, while the Russians have decided to re-focus on the East of Ukraine.

From our side, we are continuing working at full throttle to contribute to restoring our beloved homeland and its economy. Over 350 chemists including 100 FTE’s in our clients’ research projects have been able to resume their programs in our laboratories in Kyiv. We appreciate tremendously your indefatigable support, commitment, and trust in us!

This week we are happy to announce that our compound management team has resumed the liquid handling replication of our compound libraries. Although some more time (2 weeks) is required to fully re-start the weighing of dry compound samples from our screening collection, we can already supply from our liquid stock various pre-plated compound libraries. In line with our last week’s announcement, our very first dry-ice shipment since nearly two months has just left Kyiv towards our logistics centre in Riga from where individual orders will be further distributed to multiple clients across the world.

We are also pleased to confirm that our biology department Bienta has fully resumed its operations and provision of integrated drug discovery support. All our research facilities and technical equipment are in perfect working condition. Currently, all our groups and units (high throughput screening, bioanalytical, mass spectrometry, and in vivo) are resuming their projects and are ready to start new ones. The in vivo group is restoring the population of its laboratory animals, which were saved in our in-house core breeding section thanks to our galvanized colleagues’ efforts.

A paper by Enamine scientists has been highlighted in “Chemical & Engineering News”

Mykhailiuk, P. K. Generation of C2F5CHN2 In Situ and Its First Reaction: [3+2] Cycloaddition with Alkenes Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 17, 5168. (Back Cover Picture)

Ritter, S. K. Diazoalkane Expands Fluorine Focus On Ethyl Groups Chemical & Engineering News, 92 (17), 2014.

Developing new methods for introducing fluorine into complex organic molecules has been all the rage during the past few years. Researchers preparing drug candidates and crop-protection chemicals typically seek to add a single fluorine atom or trifluoromethyl group and now have myriad ways to do so. But methods for adding longer, more lipophilic perfluoroalkyl groups, such as pentafluoroethyl, –C2F5, to complex molecules are relatively scarce. The approaches tend to be direct additions of C2F5 using organometallic transfer reagents and don’t utilize C2F5-containing building blocks.

Enamine scientists have developed a new building block for introducing C2F5 group into organic molecules. Pavel Mykhailiuk and colleagues safely generated the fluorinated diazoalkane, C2F5CHN2, in situ from C2F5CH2NH2•HCl and NaNO2. Authors demonstrated the utility of the reagent by using it in [3 + 2]-cycloadditions with mono- and disubstituted alkenes at room temperature to prepare perfluoroethylated pyrazolines with better than 95% conversion rates. Authors believe the diazofluoroalkane will also be as useful as other diazoalkanes for cyclopropanations, carbene insertions, and alkyne cycloadditions.

Click Chemistry brochure added to Selected Building Block series

336 Azides and alkynes have been selected from Enamine’s catalog of over 90 000 Building Blocks. Their structures have been published in the Selected Building Block series. This brochure, the sixth in series, provides a useful guide to novel and innovative chemistry developed at Enamine that can find multiple applications in drug design. Cycloaddition reaction of azides and alkynes has been shown to smoothly provide excellent yields of 1,2,3-triazoles. It has been recognized as an outstanding example of “click chemistry” This reaction can be used to selectively synthesize both 1,4- and 1,5-substituted triazoles. Besides reaction with azides alkynes undergo many other cycloaddition reactions.

Small linear and cyclic peptides comprising 2 to 25 amino acid residues of both natural and unnatural origin can be prepared on 1-30 mg scale in a highly pure form (>95%). A large collection of proprietary unnatural amino acids including many conformationally constrained ones as well as ones containing fluorine substituents can be used to expand the variety of peptides. The example structures of peptides prepared with our new peptide synthesizer are listed below.

High-throughput synthesis workflow was optimized

Recently Enamine has further improved the high-throughput synthesis workflow used for preparation of compounds offered through the REAL Database. Removal of production bottlenecks, application of optimized technological solutions and expansion of high performance preparative flash chromatography unit allowed us to shorten entire production cycle to 12-14 days. Currently we are able to produce up to 2,000 samples per month using this optimized procedure. 90% feasibility rate can be achieved after a single production cycle for typical compound sets. Compounds synthesized via the enhanced scheme can be delivered within 3 weeks after acceptance of an order.

Screening compounds are offered via three libraries

Starting from January 2010, Enamine starts offering screening compounds via three separate libraries: Advanced, HTS and Historical collection. Advanced collection will always contain only novel and recently synthesized compounds, thus clients who persistently monitor additions to Enamine stock will spend less time and efforts to find new structural motifs. HTS collection will continue to be an indispensable source of compounds for various screening needs, providing unparalleled choice of diverse chemotypes. Historical collection will contain compounds representing scientific heritage of major regional research groups and institutions, particularly interesting for research programs in agro-chemistry and material science.
