Our CSO, Maria, has recently traveled to the US to attend the ACSMEDI-EFMC Medicinal Chemistry Frontiers 2025 , a conference organized by both the EFMC and the ACSMEDI, in an effort to share the most novel medicinal chemistry advancements in both the US and Europe. Another section was dedicated to Chemistry Tools, highlighting their importance. This Chemistry Tools session was more industry focused than those before, and Maria shared the floor

August 2022 "GPCRs in Medicinal Chemistry Event 8th RSC / SCI symposium on GPCRs in Medicinal Chemistry

October 2022 "Cannabinoid Receptor 2 (CB2) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) with considerable, though as yet unrealised, therapeutic potential. Promising preclinical data supports the applicability of CB2 activation in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, pain, neurodegeneration, and osteoporosis. A diverse pharmacopoeia of cannabinoid ligands is available, which has led to considerable advancements in the understanding of CB2 function and extensive preclinical evaluation. However, until recently, most CB2 ligands were highly lipophilic and as such not optimal for clinical application due to unfavourable physicochemical properties. A number of strategies have been applied to develop CB2 ligands to achieve closer to 'drug-like' properties and a few such compounds have now undergone clinical trial. We review the current state of CB2 ligand development and progress in optimising physicochemical properties, understanding advanced molecular pharmacology such as functional selectivity, and clinical evaluation of CB2-targeting compounds."
