Abstract: The productivity of medicinal chemistry programs can be significantly increased through the introduction of automation, leading to shortened discovery cycle times. Herein, we describe a platform that consolidates synthesis, purification, quantitation, dissolution, and testing of small molecule libraries. The system was validated through the synthesis and testing of two libraries of binders of polycomb protein EED, and excellent correlation of obtained data with results generated through conventional approaches was observed. The fully automated and integrated platform enables batch-supported compound synthesis based on a broad array of chemical transformations with testing in a variety of biochemical assay formats. A library turnaround time of between 24 and 36 h was achieved, and notably, each library synthesis produces sufficient amounts of compounds for further evaluation in secondary assays thereby contributing significantly to the shortening of medicinal chemistry discovery cycles.
