The 7th International Conference on Compound Libraries, taking place from October 17-19, 2011, in Darmstadt, Germany, will focus on innovative library designs and screening methods for pharmaceutical compounds. Key topics include Pfizer's strategies, rational design of focused libraries, and approaches to hit identification and compound acquisition. The conference will also feature interactive workshops and discussions on diverse subject areas related to compound development.

1. A successful compound library design starts here!
7th International Conference Compound Libraries 2011
Linking hit-to-lead optimization with innovative outsourcing, acquisition and cooperation models are
today more important than ever in the field of pharmaceutical compounds. At IQPC’s 7th
International Conference Compound Libraries from 17 – 19 October 2011 in Darmstadt/Germany,
pharmaceutical professionals will come together to discuss and learn about the newest, most
effective library designs as well as screening methods to better manage compound library
collections. Main areas of discussion will include:
• Pfizer’s file enrichment and library design strategies
• Detecting starting points for med-chem optimization by employing rational design of focused
and fragment libraries
• Improving hit identification through technologies such as SPR and Isothermal Titration
Calorimetry and 19F – NMR
• Screening collection strategies through the process of acquiring and integrating lead-
like compounds
• Blind screening, the evolution of compound acquisition and the “no cure – no pay” principle
In addition to the two main conference days, delegates can also take part in interactive workshops
on the following subject areas:
• Ten years of building and screening the Pfizer File Enrichment Collection
• Hit-to-Lead Optimization – Integrating multiple screening methods (HTS and non HTS
approaches)
• Compound libraries for marine natural products drug discovery
• New business models for compound library acquisition
