Definitions
- the invention relates to adsorbing chemical samples onto metallic carrier materials for long term storage of compounds in, for example, a proprietary compound collection.
- Compound collections are used in the search for agents with novel pharmaceutical, agrochemical or other fine chemical applications and are a valuable source of structural and chemical diversity used in identifying new leads as potential inhibitors of a biological target.
- Compound collections may contain more than 100,000 different compounds and due to increasingly efficient compound acquisition, either through commercial sources, or by high throughput synthesis, compound collections with more than 1 million different compounds are now of a typical size in some research organisations.
- High throughput multiple parallel synthesis can generate very large numbers of individual compounds, typically 100-5000 per week, but the sample size is usually small, ⁇ 100mg.
- To try and obtain all or most of these samples as crystalline or amorphous powders using the methods normally available to chemists would increase the overall synthesis time to such an extent that the HTMPS process would be impractical.
- compounds from HTMPS are stored sometimes as dry films or as solutions, usually in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO). The dispensing of compounds stored as dry films is often very difficult, and the difficulty increases significantly as the sample size decreases.
- DMSO dimethyl sulphoxide
- HTS high throughput screening
- a whole compound collection of , for example, 100,000 compounds may be screened in a number of days against a new biological target, using automated or semi-automated procedures.
- HTS high throughput screening
- a typical sample size of compound sample needed to be dispensed for HTS may be less than 0.1 mg, but despite weight variations of ⁇ 10% being tolerated for the purposes of screening, including HTS, it is not practicable to rapidly dispense such small sample sizes.
- US5519 218 describes sample holders, which are cheap and disposable, for compounds in IR spectroscopy.
- the sample holders are made from a wire mesh and retain compound in the openings formed by the mesh to allow the IR beam to pass through said compound.
- the patent does not describe the retrieval of compounds from the mesh and, indeed, disposal of both the holder and compound is preferred due to low cost of the compound holder compared with traditional mineral sample holders for IR spectroscopy, such as KBr plates.
- a method for storing and dispensing a compound which comprises (1) adsorbing the compound onto a carrier having a metal surface (2)when later required removing the compound from the carrier by contacting liquid, in which the compound is soluble, with the surface of the compound containing carrier and (3) removing the liquid from the carrier.
- adsorption is achieved from a solution of the compound which is brought into contact with the surface of the carrier and then removing the solvent, for example by evaporation.
- Extraction of the compound from the carrier may be achieved by contacting the carrier with the compound adsorbed on it with a liquid which is a suitable solvent for the compound , and then removing the carrier from the liquid.
- the liquid may be separated from the carrier by passing the liquid through or over the metallic surface, or where the metallic surface is in the form of small particles by filtration or magnetism. Where the carrier does not interfere with the assay then it may be left in the assay medium.
- the compound may be one of any number of different compounds, such as within a compound collection and as such represents a further feature of the invention.
- Typical liquids in which the compound is soluble and are found in common usage for dissolving compounds for testing are typically either aqueous or organic; aqueous systems may include buffered solutions ; organic solvents include protic solvents, such as ethanol, and aprotic solvents, such as DMSO; alternatively the solvent may be a mixture of any of the above solvents. Additional excipients may be added to the liquid to improve the solubility of the compound.
- a mat made from a woven mesh of metal fibres, or metal coated non-metal fibres
- several compounds may be deposited upon zones of the same mat.
- the solution of the compound is held, when applied to the surface of the mat, within the weave of fibres. Liquid is allowed to freely evaporate leaving compound adsorbed onto the mat in discrete zones.
- Compound may be recovered, ideally in an automatic way, by passing a volume of liquid known to dissolve the compound through the mat at the zone in which the compound is stored.
- Such a system lends itself easily to automation where computer controlled systems place compound at predetermined positions, the location being logged, and when that compound is required the computer controlled system revisits that same zone after interrogating the log to retrieve the compounds location and retrieves the material in the manner described above.
- the same carrier material and the same configuration may be used for the all the compounds, thus leading to a generic use of the technology, or alternatively carriers of the same configuration but in sets of a different material may be used each set being more suited to particular compound types.
- the configuration of the carrier is the same this also lends easily to the generic use of the technology and, therefore, automation.
- carriers having a metal surface such as fibre, wire, pin, rod, mesh, grid, sheet or strip
- Liquid attached to the primer after removal evaporate from the carrier leaving compound adsorbed onto its metal surface.
- Compound is retrieved by dipping again the carrier into a liquid in which the compound is soluble, or, alternatively, washing the liquid over the carrier.
- a number of different configurations of the metal surface are anticipated to work.
- a simple sheet having a metallic surface will work, further treatment of the metal surface could be used, such as to improve the surface area by treatment with such agents to make the surface pitted (such as the use of strong acids), the surface may be contoured so as to form wells or channels through which the liquid may freely flow.
- Woven metallic fibres may also be used, and are preferred, since these are flexible and may be rolled or even folded, additionally liquid can be forced through the woven materials to recover compound, materials need not be woven but may be a mesh or grid with holes in the sheeting .
- the carrier may be formed into a free flowing powders by, for example metal fillings.
- Suitable metal surfaces are those which are stable and are generally inert to most chemical compounds. Examples include, steel, aluminium, chromium, silver, gold etc.
- a method for storing and dispensing a number of different compounds with different physical properties which comprises (1) adsorbing each compound onto a carrier having a metal surface, (2) storing the adsorbed compounds on the metal surface until a compound is required, (3) extracting the compound from the carrier and (4) dispensing the compound.
- a further feature of the invention is a method of storing a number of different compounds in a compound collection for an extended duration whilst providing for significant recovery of the compound after storage which comprises adsorption of each compound onto a carrier having a metal surface.
- a further feature of the invention is a compound collection comprising a number of different compounds wherein each compound has been adsorbed onto a carrier having a metal surface
- extended duration we mean that we have found that "recovery” (which means >30% w/w , >50 %w/w, ideally >80% w/w, preferably >90%w/w recovery of the sample) of compound may be extracted from the inert carrier even after a period of storage at room temperature of at least 6 months, and in particular over a period of more than 1 year.
- the "number" of compounds in a compound collection which may be stored by the techniques as described above is not limited by the invention, ideally the invention may be used for storage of compounds in compound collections where the number of different compounds stored may be more than 5, 50, 100, 10 3 , 10" or even more than 10 6 .
- the invention may also be applied to a subset of a compound collection.
- compounds By the use of the term "compounds” we refer to compounds which are able to be adsorbed onto carriers. The physical and chemical properties of the compounds are generally unimportant in applying the present invention. However, it will be appreciated that this method is not suited to compounds with low boiling points.
- Preferred compounds are those stored in compound collections of pharmaceutical, biotechnology or agrochemical companies. Preferred compounds are organic molecules of molecular weight of less than 2000 Daltons, and ideally of 1000 Daltons or less.
- the carrier adsorbed with a compound provides a material with very similar physical properties even when compounds are adsorbed which have different physical properties. Further advantages include:
- Compound can be quantitatively and reproducibly adsorbed and extracted from inert carrier; Storage and dispensing of compounds which exist normally as liquids, gums or glasses;
- Adsorption onto an inert carrier produces metallic material/mesh with very similar handling characteristics
- Eluents Eluent A: Water containing 50 mM ammonium acetate. (Weigh accurately 3.854 g ammonium acetate and dissolve in 1 litre of
- Eluent B Methanol containing 43.75 mM ammonium acetate.
- results 4 are captured in table 1. Also included in the table are the aqueous solubilities of the 13 compounds in 0.1 M phosphate buffer pH 7.4.
