Directory of Screening Platforms
and Chemical Libraries in Spain
INTRODUCTION
This document is the first edition of the Directory of Screening Platforms and Chemical Libraries localized in Spain. The current version
has been developed with the collaboration of 19 Screening Platforms and 4 Chemical Libraries within the planned activities of the Spanish
Technological Platform for Innovative Medicines (PTEMI) and with the collaboration of the Spanish Association for the Pharmaceutical
Industry in Spain, FARMAINDUSTRIA.
The main objective of the Spanish Technological Platform for Innovative Medicines is to promote the collaborative research between the
different stakeholders in the pharmaceutical sector in Spain.
Between the specific objectives of this Directory are to stimulate the realization of preclinical research in medicines in Spain as well as to make an
attractive and useful tool available for the pharmaceutical companies during the drug development project.
This Directory has been published in early 2010 and will have a complete diffusion among all kinds of organizations interested in Preclinical
Research. A questionnaire was distributed to 19 Screening Platforms and 4 Chemical Libraries in Spain during January and December 2009 to
collect data for this Directory. The consulted organizations have validated all the information collected in this Directory.
The Directory is divided in two main sections, the first one offering a general view of the Screening Platforms and Chemical Libraries gathered in
the Directory, and the second presenting each Screening Platform or Chemical Library with complete descriptions and individual facilities
organized as shown below.

Directory of Screening Platforms
and Chemical Libraries in Spain
Summary
Main conclusions derived from the present directory are:
•
Out of the 19 Screening Platforms included, 12 are privately owned and the remaining 7 are associated to the national public research
system. Out of the 4 Chemical Libraries included, 3 are associated to the national public research system and the remaining is privately
owned.
•
The first Screening Platform was found in 1996 (the Foundation GAIKER), and further Screening Platforms have been established
through till 2009 (the Fundación MEDINA). In general, most of the Screening Platforms have been established during the last five years.
•
The total usable space of the Screening Platforms amounts to 11,094 square meters (m2), with an average of 584 m2 each, although
the size can range from 15 m2 to 3,250 m2. The total usable space of the Chemical Libraries amounts to 2,505 m2.
•
Out of the 19 Screening Platforms included, 14 of them are able to manage chemical libraries for assays having a capacity to store
compounds ranging from 500.000 (Fundación MEDINA and Vivia Biotech SL) to 60 compounds (Fundación GAIKER)
•
However, only 9 Screening Platforms have own Chemical Library, the size of these can range from 100.000 compounds (Fundación
MEDINA) to 98 compounds (APOINTECH, S.L.)
•
All the Screening Platforms describe the assays available inside the organization and 15 of them have capacity to produce biological
reagents.
•
There is a total of 278 Staff or personnel working in the 19 Screening Platforms, 208 of which are permanent employees and 70 have
specific-term contracts. Each platform would have an average of 14,6 employees, of them 10,9 are permanent and 3,7 contracted
employees.
•
Out of the 19 Screening Platforms included, only 4 of them have got any accreditation by an official Agency or have passed any audit.
Another six platforms are in the process to get an accreditation.
•
All the Screening Platforms except one have screening experience and all of them describe in detail the available capacity offered for
services or for collaboration.
•
The storage capacity of compounds in the Chemical Libraries included in the Directory ranges from 50,000 to 2,000 compounds. Two of
the Chemical Libraries have annotated biological or pharmacological their library.

Provision of services, facilitating the access to collections of Natural Products and the evaluation of drugs for academic research groups, biotech
and pharmaceutical companies.
For collaborations
MEDINA offers an extensive proprietary portfolio of high-throughput anti-infective assays to facilitate lead generation (empiric whole-cell assays
to evaluate the potency and spectrum of active extracts; HTS whole-cell assays with sensitized Staphylococcus aureus strains; target-based
whole cell assays in Candida albicans).
As MEDINA’s capabilities have expanded, so have the therapeutic screening areas, to include tuberculosis, parasitic diseases, oncology,
immunoregulation and rare diseases. Our strategy is to establish scientific collaborations with academia, and biotech and pharmaceutical
companies desiring to interrogate their target with one of the world’s most productive microbial extract collections.

Description (robotized systems, detectors, etc)
•
A modern and well equipped laboratory is available for assessment of the pharmacological activity of molecules, by a team of specialized
professionals capable of evaluating the different aspects of planning screening cascades and target validation for drug discovery.
•
The infrastructures required for carrying out large scale drug screening cascades, for both binding and functional studies, are available.
These include a Freedom Evo robot (Tecan) for handling liquids, and an Aquarius robot (Tecan) for handling 96- and 384-well plates.
•
Multidrop systems (TermoLab Systems), equipped with a Titan Stacker robotic arm (ThermoLab Systems) are available for addition of
liquids to 96- and 384- well plates, and to deep well plates. A Columbus plate washer (Tecan) enables maximum yields in assays that
require excess colour to be washed from plates (cytotoxicity, immunoenzyme assays).
•
A multifunctional Ultra Evolution detector (Tecan) is also available, enabling colorimetric, fluorescence, polarized fluorescence, FRET and
luminescence determinations; the detector is equipped with a Connect robotic arm (Tecan), which enables the simultaneous automated
detection of up to 16, 96-well plates or 32, 384-well plates. A Microbeta Trilux detector (Wallac) is also available
•
A fluorescence microscope coupled to dual detection and rapid image acquisition systems is also available for temporal and spatial
resolution of cell events, combined with image analysis software, which enables highly sensitive and selective cell culture assays to be
carried out.
•
A modern system of thermostat controlled water baths is also available for “in vitro” and “ex vivo” functional studies with a simultaneous
series of transducers and polygraphs (Grass).

Types of assay
Fluorescence
Polarised fluorescence
Others:
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) for detection of changes in the small
molecule signals upon receptor binding. No restrictions on the type or size of the
receptor, if it can be solubilized to ~1-0.1 micromolar concentration.
Assay format
Other:
The fluorinated compounds of our chemical library have been grouped in
mixtures of 8 compounds each. The assignment of the 19F NMR signals from
each mixture is available and the identification of the component (putative
ligand) being affected by adding the receptor to a mixture is immediate. The
experiments are done in 5mm NMR tubes containing 20-50 microM for each
compounds and o.1-1 micromolar receptor, in a volume of 500-600microL, using
the appropriate buffer for the receptor. We have a sample exchanger with
capability to measure up to 120 samples without human intervention.

Description (robotized systems, detectors, etc)
•
BDTM Pathway 855 Bioimager is a HCA/HCS systems with a switchable software, confocal imaging capability. Real-time viewing of
confocal images through the built in binocular eyepiece and the rapid capture of single confocal digital images, or, z-stacks of confocal
images in automated assay mode are all made possible by incorporation of Nipkow spinning disk technology. The Nipkow disk can be
moved in and out of the light path under manual, or fully automatic control and with the disk out of the light path, the BD Pathway 855
Bioimager operates as an inverted wide-field epi-fluorescence microscope. If required, this capability extends to automatic switching
between confocal and wide-field modes for alternate fluorescence channels within a High Content screening assay.
