Kyiv, Ukraine, April 19, 2023 - Enamine Ltd., a provider of drug discovery services empowered with the world’s largest collections of building blocks, fragments, and screening compounds, gave an update of its long-standing research collaboration with Endogena Therapeutics AG, a clinicalstage biotech company focused on the development of endogenous regenerative medicines.
Enamine provides Endogena with its integrated capability in medicinal chemistry to support Endogena’s small molecule drug discovery programs in the fields of hit finding, hit-to-lead and lead optimization.
The companies have been collaborating under a Full Time Equivalent (FTE) model since 2019. The two discovery partners have been continuing their research collaboration to date, their research relationship not being impacted by the war in Ukraine. This collaboration extension, along with many others and new ones established by Enamine since February 24, 2022, already under the conflict, is a systematic positive trend experienced by the company, that demonstrates the support of its customers and the trust they have in receiving high-quality service backed up by the unparalleled number of diverse building blocks available at Enamine.
Sven Weiler, Vice President of Medicinal Chemistry at Endogena, commented: “The interaction with colleagues from Enamine has been a smooth one from the start. In addition to the FTE model, it is great to have access to their huge compound collection and be able to flexibly use Enamine’s capacity to its full potential. We value the output and responsiveness of the Enamine team, helping us to achieve our demanding milestones. It is stunning to see how well Enamine has been able to keep pace after February 2022.”
Michael Bossert, Head of Strategic Alliances at Enamine, added: “After 13 months of the war in the country, we are especially pleased to announce our collaboration with Endogena, a longlasting partner we have been serving during those several years with extensive medicinal chemistry and SAR efforts”.

Kyiv, Ukraine, 22 November 2021. Recently, Prof. Magolan and coworkers from McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) reported that hexafluoroisopropyl sulfamate (HFIPS) is a convenient reagent for the sulfamoylation of alcohols and amines (Org. Lett. 2021, 23, 3373–3378). HFIPS has also been used for metal-catalyzed C–H aminations (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 5783–5789) and for the synthesis of aziridines using silver catalysis (Synthesis 2018, 50, 4462–4470) or electrochemical conditions (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2018, 57, 5695–5698). Enamine has adapted and scaled-up the published procedure to synthesize HFIPS and make it more accessible to scientists worldwide. The reagent is now available in Enamine’s catalogue in multigram quantities.
Iryna Iavniuk, Business Development Director at Enamine, comments: “We at Enamine are committed to making novel reagents immediately accessible to our customers. We have successfully applied the HFIPS reagent in one of our projects previously and were happy to produce it for commercialization.”
Prof. Dr. Oleksandr Grygorenko, Consulting Scientist at Enamine, explains: “Dr. Jarrod Johnson, a Research Associate in the Magolan group, contacted us to point out that there was a supply gap with HFIPS. We recognized the usefulness of the reagent and happily agreed to begin commercialization. Our chemists quickly reproduced the published procedure to synthesize 50 grams of the reagent and HFIPS is now available from EnamineStore: https://www.enaminestore.com/catalog/EN300-1987789.”
Dr. Jarrod Johnson from McMaster University, adds: “We like the ease and simplicity of using HFIPS for sulfamoylation chemistry and hope it might become the go-to reagent for medicinal chemists making sulfamates and sulfamides.”
Prof. Dr. Jakob Magolan from McMaster University, comments: “It’s great to see Enamine now offering bulk HFIPS. I expect that this will enable creative scientists around the world to further extend the scope and applicability of this useful little reagent.”
Conflict of interest statement: Hereby the parties confirm that Prof. Magolan and his group have no financial interest in commercialization of EN300-1987789. No specialized data was transferred to Enamine apart from that already published in the literature.

Kyiv, Ukraine, 18 October 2021. Several months ago, Prof. Levin and co-workers from University of Chicago developed an elegant method for the “skeletal editing” of organic molecules by nitrogen atom deletion (see Nature 2021, 593, 223–227). Their strategy included the use of an anomeric N-pivaloyloxy-N-alkoxyamide amide as the key reagent. Enamine, the world-leading compound supplier, is proud to announce that this reagent has been just added to the company’s product catalog. The compound is now available from the company’s stock in multigram quantities.
Iryna Iavniuk, Business Development Director at Enamine, explains: “We at Enamine always look for the most recent scientific findings in all areas of chemistry and use them to expand and improve our products immediately. We were happy to collaborate with Mark Levin on the commercialization of his fascinating reagent – a remarkable addition to our reagent collection.”
Prof. Dr. Oleksandr Grygorenko, Consulting Scientist at Enamine, adds: “I was really excited when I saw Prof. Levin’s Nature publication on the nitrogen deletion method while surfing the literature. When Mark contacted us, we readily agreed to collaborate. Our chemists quickly reproduced his published protocols, performed scale-up to 50 g of the reagent, demonstrated its applicability, and checked the storage stability. Now, the compound is available from EnamineStore: https://www.enaminestore.com/catalog/EN300-33050767“
Prof. Dr. Mark Levin, Assistant Professor at University of Chicago, comments: “Hopefully anyone who wants to give our methods a whirl will be able to take advantage of this wonderful offering from Enamine. I am looking forward to all the creative applications of nitrogen deletion that this will enable!”
Conflict of interest statement: Hereby the parties confirm that Prof. Levin or his group has no financial interest in commercialization of EN300-33050767. No specialized data was transferred to Enamine apart from that already published in the literature.
