High Throughput Applications of Multiplexed Capillary Electrophoresis with Absorbance Detection in Drug Discovery and Development

Jeremy Kenseth, Andrea Bastin, and Dennis Tallman
CombiSep, Inc.



The emergence of combinatorial synthesis and high throughput activity screening methods have prompted the need for the development of supporting high throughput analytical approaches for characterizing various physical and chemical properties of active lead compounds. Experimental information acquired regarding drug physicochemical properties such as acid dissociation constants (pKa values) and octanol-water partition coefficients (log P values) can identify active compounds that also possess favorable "drug-like" properties. This approach can help reduce attrition rates and increase overall success in drug development. This presentation will discuss the use of multiplexed, absorbance-based capillary electrophoresis (CE) for determining pKa values and log P values in a high throughput manner. In addition, the use of multiplexed CE for performing parallel chiral separations will be presented. The ability to rapidly screen compounds for various properties in parallel offers a substantial scientific and business advantage as compared to the use of traditional, lower throughput serial-based approaches.
