Drug Repurposing Compound Library
Based on 103 publication(s) in Google Scholar
New drug development is a time-consuming and high-cost process. Drug repurposing (also called drug repositioning, reprofiling or re‑tasking) offers various advantages over developing an entirely new drug for a given indication. First, the risk of failure is lower. Second, the time frame for drug development can be reduced. Third, less investment is needed. Approved and clinical drugs, especially after phase I drugs, have identified bioactivities, good pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety which are suitable for drug repurposing.
MCE Drug Repurposing Compound Library contains 5,112 approved drugs and passed phase Ⅰclinical drugs, which have been completed extensive preclinical and clinical studies and have well-characterized bioactivities, safety and bioavailability properties.
For pre-dissolved solutions, 10 mM for compounds with the solubility not lower than 10 mM, 2 mM for compounds with solubility between 2 mM and 10 mM, and 3 mg/mL for compounds with unconfirmed molecular weight and solubility not lower than 3 mg/mL.

Product Details
A collection of 5,112 bioactive compounds supplied as pre-dissolved Solutions or Solid
Solution: 4,955 compounds supplied in 10 mM solution, 120 compounds supplied in 2 mM solution, 37 compounds supplied in 3 mg/mL solution.
96-well storage tube or 96-well plate: 1st and 12th column are left empty.
384-well plate: the first two columns and the last two columns are left empty.
Compounds with different concentrations or dissolved in different solvents will be put on separate plates.
This way of layout may increase the number of plates because there could be three solvents and three concentrations.
If you have other requirements, please let us know.
