New horizons in small molecule solubility screening
22 October 2019 | By Halo Labs
Aqueous solubility of small molecule compounds is an essential parameter during the hit-to-lead stage of drug discovery as well as lead optimization and formulation. Low solubility can result in misleading ADMET/DMPK analyses if some fraction of a compound precipitates. Watch on-demand to find out more!

Application note: Evaluate anti-inflammatory compounds using a multiparametric THP-1 cell-based assay
Macrophages originate from blood monocytes that leave the circulation and penetrate various tissues where they differentiate into macrophages. They are involved in the removal of pathogens and phagocytosis of dead cells. In addition, they initiate inflammation by releasing cytokines that activate vascular cells and facilitate macrophage adhesion to blood vessels…
