High Throughput Screening

高通量筛选和化学核心设施的目标是帮助莫菲特研究人员 确定和优化化学探针和新的先导化合物，有可能使两者受益 生物化学机制研究和药物发现与开发，这将最终提供治疗 对癌症患者有益。 核心由三个职能单位组成： 1)实验高通量筛选（HTS） 2)虚拟高温超导与分子模拟 3)化学中间体和文库合成 这三个单位密切合作，为筛选生物分子提供互补的方法。 目标，并通过作为分子建模的资源来帮助铅优化过程 研究和初步铅优化. Moffitt的高通量筛选和分子建模工作 已经产生了初步数据，这些数据对于获得NCI R 01资金以及同行评审至关重要 Akt和STATS抑制剂的出版物。此外，莫菲特的HTS工作还确定了 抑制癌细胞中其他分子靶点的化学探针，如Aurora激酶、SHP 2 磷酸酶、蛋白酶体、香叶基香叶基转移酶I以及mdm 2/p53、BclXL/Bax和Rb/Raf-1 约束力

The goal of the High Throughput Screening & Chemistry Core Facility is to assist Moffitt researchers in identifying and optimizing chemical probes and new lead compounds that have the potential to benefit both biochemical mechanistic studies and drug discovery & development, which will ultimately provide therapeutic benefit to cancer patients. The Core is comprised of three functional units: 1) Experimental High Throughput Screening (HTS) 2) Virtual HTS and Molecular Modeling 3) Chemical Intermediates and Library Synthesis The three units work closely together to provide complementary approaches toward screening biomolecular targets and toward aiding the lead optimization process by serving as a resource for molecular modeling studies and initial lead optimization. High throughput screening and molecular modeling efforts at Moffitt have already resulted in preliminary data that was essential for obtaining NCI R01 funding as well as peerreviewed publications for Akt and STATS inhibitors. Furthermore, HTS efforts at Moffitt have also identified chemical probes that inhibit other molecular targets in cancer cells such as Aurora kinase, SHP2 phosphatase, the proteasome, geranylgeranyltransferase I as well as mdm2/p53, BclXL/Bax and Rb/Raf-1 binding.
