ChemDiv, a fully Integrated Target-to-Clinic Contract Research Organization (CRO) headquartered in San Diego, CA USA

ChemDiv is the recognized global leader in discovery chemistry with the industry’s largest, most diverse, and most pharmacologically-relevant commercial collection of individually crafted, lead-like, drug-like small molecules and building blocks.

Our computational, structural biology, synthetic and medicinal chemistry team follow current trends in modern structure-based discovery chemistry to add novel diverse and targeted compounds at the rate of 50,000 molecules per year.

Our customers can get access to a variety of pre-plated annotated libraries with bioactive compounds. Customization options are available for over 100 pre-designed targeted and focused sets. It tackling multiple targets, protein domains, pathways, cellular processes, etc. Representative examples of these biased compound libraries include modulators of numerous protein-protein interactions, stem cell differentiation, apoptosis, proteasome cascade including diverse ligases, autophagy, epigenetics machinery, cell cycle including quiescent cancer cells, motor proteins, mitochondrial homeostasis and cell energetic, viral targets, bacterial genome, protein folding machinery including scaffolding proteins and chaperones and many others. We have also assembled library screening sets for agrochemical, cosmetics and food industries reflective of the Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) concepts.

ChemDiv is a recognized global leader in drug discovery solutions. Over the past 29 years ChemDiv has delivered hundreds of leads, drug candidates and new drugs in the area of CNS, oncology, virology, inflammation, cardiometabolic and immunology, to pharma, biotech and academic partners around the globe.
