FRAGMENT LIBRARIES The Fragment-based approach is now well established as an efficient tool in modern drug discovery. This method has proven to be more versatile and beneficial over conventional HTS-driven paradigms. Life Chemicals Fragment Collection with variable parameters comprises more than 68,000 screening compounds, containing over 38,000 stock and 30,000 tangible structures. In response to modern FBDD trends Life Chemicals has designed a number of unique Fragment Libraries: General Fragment Library Ultimate Fragment Library Low MW Fragment Library Fragment Library with Experimental Solubility Data Fsp3-enriched Fragment Library 3D Fragment Library Fluorine Fragment Library Fluorine Fragment Cocktails Bromine Fragment Library PPI Fragment Library Covalent Fragments Library Natural Product-like Fragment Library
GENERAL FRAGMENT LIBRARY 38,000 stock available fragments with MW<300 and ClogP<3 Advanced subset of 9,400 Fragments satisfying expanded Ro3 criteria that are perfectly suitable for FBDD purposes Advanced Subset PAINS and compounds with undesired functionalities are removed.
GENERAL FRAGMENT LIBRARY Examples of structures: Advanced Subset:
ULTIMATE FRAGMENT LIBRARY 3,600 fragments with excellent ADME profile for lead generation. Ultimately rigorous selection parameters are applied PAINS and compounds with undesired functionalities are removed.
ULTIMATE FRAGMENT LIBRARY Examples of structures:
LOW MW FRAGMENT LIBRARY The library contains leads with lower molecular weight and higher hydrophilicity. Also included are over 3,000 high quality stock available Fragments selected by means of strict control of molecular weight (100-225 Da) and other essential physico-chemical parameters (cLogP, HDonors, HAcceptors, TPSA, RotB) Finally, the Library is passed through a number of structural filters (MedChem, PAINS). An advanced low molecular weight fragment set of nearly 1,500 compounds was obtained by using even more rigorous physicochemical and structural cut-offs.
LOW MW FRAGMENT LIBRARY Examples of structures:
FRAGMENT LIBRARY WITH EXPERIMENTAL SOLUBILITY DATA We have around 12,500 carefully selected fragments with experimentally measured solubility at 200 mM in DMSO and 1 mM and 5 mM in pH 7.5 phosphate buffer solution (turbidimetry method). Average MW = 243 Da, average cLogP = 1.3 Guaranteed solubility of all compounds in DMSO at very high concentration (200 mM) More than 75 % of fragments are also soluble in PBS buffer at 1mM and 60 % are soluble at 5mM
FRAGMENT LIBRARY WITH EXPERIMENTAL SOLUBILITY DATA Examples of structures:
FSP3-ENRICHED FRAGMENT LIBRARY Fsp3-enriched Fragment Library comprises more than 11,500 compounds with inherent high selectivity towards pharmacological targets. Physicochemical parameters of advanced Fsp3-enriched fragments (about 3,200 compounds) are summarized in the table below: Fsp3 distribution
FSP3-ENRICHED FRAGMENT LIBRARY Examples of structures:
3D FRAGMENT LIBRARY 1,500 carefully designed drug-like 3D fragments Special selection by physicochemical properties and principal moments of inertia (PMI) to improve 3D-shape functionality and diversity of the molecules Diversity filtering using linear fingerprints (Tanimoto coefficient 88%) Life Chemical 3D fragments library covers various shapes: rod-like, disk-like and spherical with sufficient diversity. PAINS and compounds with undesired functionalities are removed.
3D FRAGMENT LIBRARY Examples of structures:
FLUORINE FRAGMENT LIBRARY 19F NMR-based fragment screening can be used as a very efficient tool for rapidand sensitive detection of fragment hits. 3,300 fluorine-containing fragments including Advanced Subset of 2,000 compounds are available in stock. Fluorine Fragment Library – Advanced subset Metal containing and reactive compounds, undesired chemotypes, salts and PAINS are discarded. “Fragment space” coverage of Life Chemicals Fluorinated fragments (in black) is similar to the coverage of all commercially available fluorinated fragments (in red).
FLUORINE FRAGMENT LIBRARY Examples of structures:
FLUORINE FRAGMENT COCKTAILS The efficiency of fragment screening can be increased substantially by pooling compounds in pools of up to 15 fragments. Identification of the bound fragments by NMR, X-ray or ligand-observed LC/MS experiments then becomes a case of determining the best fragment-fits. Life Chemicals prepared an exclusive set of fluorine-containing fragment cocktails based on 1,000 fragments selected from Fluorine-based Fragment Library. Each fragment pool contains 10 fragments. Fragments are carefully selected to ensure most different 19Fchemical shifts within each pool. 19F NMR spectra are available for every fragment

BROMINE FRAGMENT LIBRARY Bromine atom can be located uniquely due to anomalous scattering that enables recognizing the structure of fragment-target complex 1,300 bromine-containing fragment to be used in crystallographic FBDD Compounds with MW ≤ 350 and ClogP ≤ 3.5 are selected. All the fragments contain only one Br atom. Reactive compounds, undesired chemotypes, PAINS are removed. An advanced subset of more than 800 compounds is also available selected by the following criteria: ClogP < 3.5 Molecular weight < 350 Da H-bond acceptors = 0−4 H-bond donors = 0−3 Rotatable bonds <= 4 Number of rings = 1−3
