Kadmon enters agreement with Chiromics for chemical compounds library

PBR Staff Writer Published 12 January 2012

US-based pharmaceutical company, Kadmon and Chiromics have inked a deal under which Kadmon has secured a non-exclusive license for use of Chiromics' chemical compound libraries that enable discovery and development of pharmaceutical products.

The technology used to build Chiromics' libraries, employs a chemical synthesis technique referred to as 'cascade catalysis.'

According to the company, cascade catalysis helps create a diverse collection of molecules that are complex and differentiated from, existing pharmaceutical libraries.

The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

Kadmon chairman and CEO Samuel D Waksal said Chiromics technology and libraries indicates a paradigm shift in pharmaceutical drug discovery.

"This platform allows us to identify and produce high-value, pre-clinical candidates against virtually any biologic target with speed and specificity, a feat not possible with other chemistry libraries," Waksal added.
