This collection was purchased in April 2004 from BIOMOL (catalogue #2840; www.biomol.com ) and plated in May 2004. It is based on the ICCB-Longwood Bioactives 1 collection (PL-0684-0685). It was assembled by BIOMOL, working together with the ICCB-Longwood, to provide a library of compounds that affect a wide variety of biological pathways relevant to ICCB-Longwood screening projects. The collection includes many classes of compounds contains ion channel blockers, GPCR ligands, second messenger modulators, nuclear receptor ligands, actin and tubulin ligands, kinase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, gene regulation agents, lipid biosynthesis inhibitors, as well as other well-characterized compounds that perturb cell pathways. We hope that this collection will help both in assay development and in target identification.

This collection contains 41 FDA-approved drugs.  However, investigators wishing to screen the maximum number of FDA-approved drugs can achieve approximately 46% coverage (561 compounds) of the FDA set by screening both NINDS and Prestwick.  Including the ICCB Biomol Known Bioactives will increase coverage to ~47% of the FDA set, as there is some redundancy among these three libraries

Because the compounds are biologically active at a variety of concentrations and because active concentrations differ among cell types, each compound in the collection is plated at two stock concentrations on two different plates. Thus there are High and Medium concentration copies for each plate (see below). We recommend that you screen the plates at each concentration to get the most information from your assay:

Copies HA, HB, HC, HD, HF: High concentration plates (approximately 5 mg/ml (~13mM) for most compounds; the high concentration of "potent" compounds is ~0.5 mg/ml (~1.3mM)).

Copies MA, MB, MC, MD, MF: Medium concentration plates (~1.1 mg/ml (~3mM); ~0.11 mg/ml (~0.3mM) for "potent" compounds).
