Hit-To-Lead Services in Radiopharmaceutical Discovery

At Rdcthera, radiopharmaceuticals are our specialty, and we offer specifically tailored CRO services. Our main business is providing integrated hit-to-lead services targeted for the discovery and development of radiopharmaceuticals.

Hit-To-Lead Introduction

A lead compound is one that is identified through an initial screening of a library of compounds and subsequently evaluated for its binding affinity, specificity, and potential for therapeutic application in the discovery of radiopharmaceuticals. These are starting points for the further optimization and development of leads in such a manner that properties in relation to clinical requirements are improved.

Hit-to-Lead Process

The hit-to-lead is such an important stage in drug discovery. It proceeds from the initial hits arising from high-throughput screenings through evaluation and optimization into lead compounds. It is marked by serially rigorous testing through binding affinity studies, both in vitro and in vivo studies for efficacy, and early toxicity assessments. It is aimed at the selection and optimization of compounds that have the greatest likelihood of succeeding in the latter part of drug development.
