New NMR Technology – Meet “Maggie”
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool well known to all organic chemists and to anyone that works in pharmaceuticals. By placing a sample dissolved in deuterated solvent into a strong magnetic field (roughly 4000x the strength of Earth’s magnetic field) and pulsing it with radio frequencies, the chemist is given an enormous amount of information from the identity and placement of functional groups to relative stereochemistry of diastereomers. Recently, Exemplify added NMR to our expanding list of capabilities.

J. Med. Chem. Publication: Preclinical Lead Optimization of a 1,2,4-Triazole-Based Tankyrase Inhibitor
In collaboration with Oslo University Hospital, we report the synthesis and biological activity of novel 1,2,3-triazole-based tankyrase inhibitors. Through a modular synthetic pathway and X-ray crystallography supported SAR analysis, we synthesized a series of novel TNKS inhibitors with improved ADME profiles, exhibiting antiproliferative efficacy in colorectal cancer cell lines.

New equipment at Exemplify
Exemplify has recently acquired a Mettler-Toledo EasyMax 402 automated reactor system to add to its process development capabilities. This instrument can accommodate reactor sizes of 100 and 400 mL and allows for the precise automated control of reaction parameters such as temperature, stirring speed, reagent addition rate, and pH, providing real-time data collection that can greatly enhance our understanding of a reaction’s unique profile.

New 100 L vessels in Groningen
The first of the two new 100 L glass-lined stainless steel reactor lines has successfully finished the testing and now it is operational at our Groningen site. By doubling our batch size capacity, we have increased the efficiency for large-scale non-GMP production projects. This will result in faster delivery times for our clients and less batch routine work for our chemists.

Towards Multitargeted Ligands as Pain Therapeutics: Dual Ligands of the Cavα2δ-1 Subunit of Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel and the μ-Opioid Receptor
In collaboration with WeLab Barcelona, we report the synthesis and biological activity of novel pain therapeutics, which target both Cavα2δ-1 and MOR. One of these disubstituted pyrrolidines demonstrated an analgesic effect in various rodent models of pain, and a lack of unfavorable off-target interactions, showing no evident signs of withdrawal or tolerance.
