ELF and antibiotic resistance programme
18 11 16- Filed In:hit identification | Screening
The latest news report from the European Lead Factory highlights work targeting antimicrobial resistance in collaboration with Professor Chris Schofield (University of Oxford). The high throughput screen of >300,000 compounds and initial triaging provided 50 qualified hits.
Multiple series of compounds were validated through resynthesis, biochemical and biophysical profiling at the European Screening Centre site in Newhouse, complemented with ligand–protein crystallography and antimicrobial evaluation at University of Oxford
Great to see projects like this move forward, demonstrates how important the ELF is in providing hits for academic groups/small companies.
