Description of requirement
background:

the national center for advancing translational sciences (ncats) division of preclinical innovation (dpi) thymine team is developing the compound ml246 (metarrestin) as a therapy targeted against metastasis or the spread of cancer from its primary site. The compound has shown very good efficacy without toxicity after dosing for seven weeks in a pancreatic mouse model. However, a dose range finding (drf) study has not yet been done in any animal. In preparation for such a study, the ncats dpi must acquire quantities of compound ml246 (metarrestin).
Purpose and objectives for the procurement:

the purpose of this acquisition is to provide the national center for advancing translational sciences (ncats) division of preclinical innovation (dpi) with 250 grams of compound ml246 (metarrestin). The associated cas no. Is 1443414-10-5. This requirement constitutes a request for commercial compound synthesis services.
Project requirements:

the contractor shall provide the ncats dpi with 250 grams of compound ml246 (metarrestin) in accordance with the following:
1. The contractor shall synthesize 250 grams of metarrestin (cas no. 1443414-10-5). The contractor shall provide for all chemicals, solvents, consumables, and waste disposal associated with synthesis and provision of the required 250 grams of metarrestin.
2. The synthesized metarrestin shall be delivered f.o.b destination and must be delivered in 99% purity. Documentation of this compound purity shall be provided via high performance liquid chromatography (hplc), mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) verification.
Government furnished property:
