For many years, nucleos(t)ide analogues and nucleic acids have served as cornerstones of drug design and development efforts. The Nucleosides, Nucleotides and Oligonucleotides (NNO) Gordon Research Conference is dedicated to understanding the fundamental chemistry, biology, and technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases using nucleos(t)ides and nucleic acid analogues. In recent years nucleic acids have seen wide use in chemical biology investigations as well as in the clinic as therapeutics and diagnostics. Emerging areas like CRISPR gene editing and siRNA have been developed due to the extensive efforts of many in the NNO field. The 2023 edition will be the 21st NNO GRC and will reflect the evolution of the field and the current explosive growth of NNO based therapeutics, from its original focus on purine and pyrimidine chemistry and biology, to the much broader current scope.

Medicinal chemists need to understand the relationship between chemical structure and the physical properties of molecules and how this translates into compound stability and the interaction of the molecule with biological structures. These biological targets include proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and cell membranes. Interaction of the molecules with these targets affects the distribution of the compound in biological systems and modulates biological function. To do this successfully the medicinal chemist needs to be aware of how target selection is carried out and how this effects lead generation. The medicinal chemist needs knowledge of structure property relationships, the physico-chemical properties of drugs and how these molecules interact with the body– pharmacokinetics and ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion).

Learn from global experts from academia and industry who will share the latest advances in organic chemistry, chemical biology and medicinal chemistry.

The conference will cover all aspects of the molecular roles of metal ions in human health and disease and in the pharmaceutical and imaging sciences, as well as connections to related fields such as environmental and nutrition sciences.

QBIC-VI is the third meeting organized since the founding of the Quantum Bioinorganic Chemistry Society. The scientific focus of the conference is on computational inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, covering theoretical methods, novel applications, and combined computational/experimental approaches. We are proudly supported by the Candela Foundation.

Physical (Theoretical) Chemistry, Computational Chemistry,    Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry

Planned topics include new developments of computational approaches in biochemistry and biophysics, applications of quantum chemical methods on molecular models, modeling interaction in molecular materials, modeling new molecular materials, drug design molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo and molecular mechanics simulations in biodisciplines.

This workshop focusses on the modelling and mechanistic questions related to bidirectional catalysis. Whereas many catalysts work in the two directions of the reaction, bidirectional synthetic molecular redox catalysts are scarce. In enzymology, there has been much interest in trying to elucidate what makes a particular enzyme faster in one direction (a property sometimes called the “catalytic bias”). Related to this question is how much free energy is required to kick off catalysis and what makes the so-called “reversible catalysts” function at a fast rate even close to equilibrium, a property that is needed to design energy efficient devices. Examining experimentally the relations between catalytic rate and driving force is more difficult with a biological motor than with a molecular or a surface redox catalyst, but the same concepts apply. This workshop aims at bringing together people from different fields (surface catalysis, molecular catalysis, molecular machines) to clarify the overlaps, see how much knowledge can be transferred across disciplines, and describe recent advances in the use, design, benchmarking and kinetic modeling of bidirectional catalysts.

Highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients, or HPAPIs, are potent compounds that could effectively treat serious and life-threatening diseases such as cancer. Because of their high potency, these substances eventually put the workers in the production facility at risk. While exceptional product quality is required, additional measures must be taken to ensure operator safety. At our online meeting, leading figures from the industry, occupational toxicologists and containment specialists will review the most recent developments affecting the handling of HPAPIs. The discussion will center on the safe and effective processing of potent APIs, process development and scale-up, occupational health hazards, toxicological assessment, improvements in isolators and facilities to minimize exposure risk, containment and cleaning validation practices, and risk management for cross-contamination.

Leibniz Research Alliance Advanced Materials Safety

The conference „Advanced Materials Safety 2023” focuses on the impact of advanced materials on human health and the environment and appropriate design concepts supporting their safe and sustainable application. The hierarchical structure that characterizes advanced materials consists of micro- and/or nanostructured building blocks. Together with the wide range of possible compositions, this entails a complex risk potential that must be considered over their entire life cycle. The conference is therefore directed at researchers and stakeholders working in the relevant fields. Regulatory issues, safety communication and facilitation by means of research data handling will be highlighted.

The safety, quality and clinical results of drug substances and drug products may be disrupted by the formation of nitrosamines along with other mutagenic impurities. The comprehensive development and production of innovative medicines now inevitably involves estimating impurity profiles as well as managing and monitoring them. To meet the demands of ever-increasing regulatory standards and avoid expensive recalls, proactive detection of genotoxic contaminants should be adopted at every stage of pharmaceutical development. We plan an online meeting with subject-matter experts to evaluate multiple perspectives on how to handle the concerns of mutagenic impurities. We will cover regulatory-compliant drug impurity profiling practices; helpful hints for adhering to recent ICH M7 and Q3D updates; nitrosamine impurity identification and quantification; risk evaluation of genotoxic impurities; analytical challenges and genotoxicity prediction; establishment of acceptance criteria; and the most recent developments in the analysis of elemental impurities. Save a seat at our webinar to find out about most effective methods for genotoxic and other mutagenic impurity management.
