Looking for molecules similar to the one you already know? Our Molport Similarity Search tool makes it simple to explore related compounds and expand your options. Begin by identifying your molecule using SMILES, CAS Number, Molport ID, or other unique identifiers. From the molecule’s page, just one click launches a search for similar structures—ready for you to filter, review, and refine. Prefer a hands-on approach? You can also draw your own structure, convert identifiers, set…

Are you placing at least five building block or screening compound orders in a month? From emailing procurement for purchase approval and requesting quotes, to waiting for order confirmation and manually submitting POs to suppliers to align with internal procurement requirements. There’s a lot of manual effort required on your behalf! Punchout catalogues, also known as PunchOut websites, are a method that allows you – the purchaser – to buy from a supplier’s website from…

Chemical procurement of a large compound library for drug screening can be a more complex task than it first appears. The process can be time-consuming, requiring the right team and expertise, defining your compound library list, and handling supplier negotiations, logistics, formatting, and budget concerns. In this overview, we take you through the chemical procurement workflow for drug screening libraries start to finish, identifying the challenges at each stage and how you can implement strategies…

Designing a suitably diverse, yet specifically targeted set of available compounds to explore a new structure-activity relationship or validate a new bioassay is getting easier – with new smart SAR and assay design tools developed in-house or available from open-source sites and commercial software vendors. So far, so good. But where will you find these compounds and get them delivered, ready to run through your new bank of bioassay types? Surely that’s the easy part…

In response to customer requests, MolPort is pleased to announce the addition of solubility flags to its online chemical sourcing database. Quick links: Press Release Why we are doing this? Read in MolPort blog Customers purchasing large numbers of screening compounds report that typically 1-5% of the samples they receive cannot be tested, because they are not sufficiently soluble in standard solvents. This wastes timeand money, and delays the screening process. Several customers worked with…

Searching for suppliers for a few compounds at a time by name or structure is simple enough, even when additional criteria like amount required or purity are important. But what if you need to find suppliers for hundreds or even thousands of compounds – maybe to complete a targetted library for an urgent structure-activity relationship study, or to obtain a structurally diverse set of compounds to run against a new antiviral screen? And as well…
