Aurora Fine Chemicals is a privately held company that was founded in 1990. As a chemicals R&D supplier we offer chemicals for R&D, drug discovery service, compound libraries and custom synthesis. We have one of the largest collections of 18.1 mln. chemicals available in stock and our docking software delivers hits/leads of very high quality in short time. Our staff consists of highly qualified individuals with Bsc, Msc and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry, as well as excellent laboratory technicians. In our Molecular Modeling Group are professionals specializing in computational drug design. They possess many years experience of working in the chemistry of heterocycles, carbohydrates, nucleosides and elemental organic compounds. Aurora has significant expertise in synthesis of all types R&D chemicals for drug discovery like small molecules, natural products and peptides. Parallel synthesis with well-designed, targeted and fragment-based libraries is the favored approach to lead optimization. Rational design is the strategy for projects driven by structural biology, such as enzyme inhibitors or protein interactions. We own a large library of 18.1 million stocked compounds for R&D. Our substances are used in many research labs all over the world. We offer structures for biochemical and chemical research. Our products are applied in pharmaceutical development, diagnosis, and in chemical production. Several laboratories for synthesis with modern equipment such as reactors, autoclaves, thermostats and hydrogenation equipment are available. Intermediates and final products are analyzed by GC, HPLC, IR, NMR, MS, elemental analysis, atom-absorption analysis and crystallographical methods. The main advantage of Aurora's own software is the quality of the underlying physical models. Aurora's software derives molecular properties from first principles based on direct models using advanced quantum mechanical analysis of molecular interactions and thermodynamics.
