Press Releases

Recently, BOC Sciences, one of the world’s leading chemical and pharmaceutical raw material suppliers, announced its commitment to provide an extensive catalog of building blocks in a wide range of applications.

Building Block is a chemical term used to describe virtual molecular fragments or real compounds whose molecules have reactive functional groups. Building blocks are the basic components of organic synthesis. Chemical building block (CBB) is a kind of molecule that can be converted into a variety of secondary chemicals and intermediates. The biggest use of bio-based chemical building blocks is the production of bio-based polymers, lubricants and solvents. There are two types of bio-based CBB: plug-in bio-based chemicals and new bio-based chemicals. The use of building blocks ensures strict control of the final compound or super-molecular constructor.

Application of Building Block

• Virtual building blocks are used in drug discovery and virtual screening to meet the needs for the controllable morphology of molecules that interact with biological targets.
• The use of component sets for rapid and reliable construction of small molecular compounds for biological screening has become one of the main strategies for the pharmaceutical industry to participate in drug discovery.
• The biological stereoscopic replacement of molecular fragments of candidate drugs can be carried out using similar building blocks.
• A large number of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structural units have been applied in medicine, agrochemical research and drug discovery.

BOC Sciences offers a series of market-leading building blocks including functionalized heterocycles, carbonyl compounds, nitrogen and oxygen compounds, halogenated compounds, alkynes, azides, and fluorinated compounds, etc. For more information about building blocks, please visit the website: https://buildingblock.bocsci.com/.
