SARS-CoV-2 Drug Discovery Services
SARS-CoV-2 inhibitor screening is an essential part of COVID-19 preclinical drug discovery offered by Reaction Biology. As a CRO (contract research organization) we support the drug discovery community in the challenge to identify efficacious COVID-19 drugs with specific assays for SARS-CoV-2 drug testing with the goal to block virus entry and replication.
Our SARS-CoV-2 drug discovery services are available for pharmaceutical companies and medical researchers worldwide. Get in touch with the business development manager assigned to your country today.
We offer two assay formats for SARS-CoV-2 compound screening to discover new antivirals: biochemical protease inhibitor assays and a biophysical spike:ACE2 disruption assay.
Beside virus replication drugs are also developed to alleviate COVID-19 symptoms with a variety of targets that are well established for medical treatment:
Target name | Target family | Assay format |

ABL | Kinase | ³³PanQinase, HotSpot, NanoBRET, Recombinant Protein |
