Amphora Discovery announced today that CHDI, Inc., a non-profit organization
pursuing a biotech approach to rapidly discover and develop drugs that
prevent or slow Huntington Disease (HD) has signed multiple agreements that
provide access to Amphora Discovery's integrated contract discovery services
[click link for full article]

The agreements cover multiple biological targets implicated in HD and
include access to Amphora Discovery's PrecisionScreen(TM),
PrecisionSelect(TM) and Full Hit-to-Lead services. Utilizing its highly
precise and accurate PrecisionScreen(TM) technology, Amphora Discovery will
rapidly screen a large number of CHDI compounds against the implicated
proteins in parallel.

This unique Amphora Discovery service avoids lengthy retest times
and will enable CHDI to rapidly select and prioritize the best chemical
series for further development. Amphora Discovery will then use its
powerful PrecisionSelect(TM) selectivity profiling platform to further
characterize the compounds of interest. Finally, CHDI and Amphora Discovery
will initiate a Full Hit-to-Lead program to rapidly structurally optimize
multiple chemical series against all the implicated targets in parallel.
