Seamless screening platform from assay development
through HTS with well-experienced and high expertise professionals
◆ Axcelead offers an integrated screening platform including material preparation, assay development, and HTS.
◆ Axcelead proposes promising flexible screening plans and strategies based on customer needs.

▶ Axcelead provides hit compounds including high-value information.
◇ Compound profiles based on Axcelead original data.
-
Cytotoxicity data (only for compounds tested in-house so far)
-
Biological annotations of hit compounds
-
Kinase selectivity profiles
◇ Review of hit compounds by medicinal chemists in Axcelead
-
Clustering of hit compounds by Axcelead original algorithm
-
Comments on structural characteristics of each cluster
◇ Drug-like properties
(QED, HBA/HBD, AlogP, tPSA, number of aromatic ring, Fsp3 etc.)
Assay development and high-throughput screening platforms
covering a wide range of target classes
◆ Platforms are available for all major target classes and phenotypes.
◆ Axcelead proposes and conducts suitable material preparation (recombinant proteins and stable cell lines)
for your HTS.
■ Major AXL assay platforms
● GPCRs
● Enzymes
● Ion channels/Transporters
● Nuclear receptors
● PPI (protein-protein interaction)
● Phenotypic screening
e.g.) High content screening, Reporter gene assayGene expression analysis

Vast compound libraries with high quality and diverse structure
◆ Axcelead proposes the optimal compound libraries for your HTS.

■ Diversity libraries
- Pooled library 720,000 compounds
- Single library 200,000 compounds
▶You can choose either or both of pooled and single libraries that
pursue lead-likeness and diversity. CNS focused, Fragment, and low
cytotoxic compounds for cell-based screening libraries are available
■ Focused libraries 41,000 compounds
- Libraries for target classes (Kinase, GPCR, Protease, PPI, etc.)
- Macrocyclic
- RNA
- Covalent
- Extended rule of 5
- Natural product
- Annotation
▶Biologically annotated library for phenotypic screening is available
