BENEFITS FOR MEDICINAL CHEMISTS

  • Integrated Solution:  Design, optimize, screen, and plan synthesis in one platform. No more switching between tools or data reformatting.
  • Predictive AI/ML: Virtually screen your molecules using AI/ML models trained on decades of our proprietary R&D data or customize with your own datasets.
  • State-of-the-Art De Novo Design: Generate novel small-molecule libraries with optimized structural and ADMET properties.
  • Cloud-Native Computing Power: Secure, scalable SaaS infrastructure enables quick, reliable computations.
  • Robust Data Security: ISO 27001 certification guarantees industry-standard, end-to-end protection of your data and IP.
  • Cost and Time Savings: In silico methods ensure faster, more reliable decisions from virtual screening to retrosynthesis.

REAL-TIME OPTIMIZATION OF DRUG CANDIDATE SCREENING WITH AIDDISON™ SOFTWARE

The structures are depicted using various colors to represent different elements, with labels indicating functional groups and bonds. The left structure features a complex arrangement, while the right structure includes an amine group (NH₂) at the end.

De Novo Molecular Design

Unlock boundless chemical space using generative AI powered by REINVENT 4.0:

  • Design novel molecules based on user-defined structural similarity, and synthesizability. 
  • Easily explore multi-point R-group replacement and scaffold decoration.
  • Specify up to two different forward reactions for each R-Group replacement to create libraries based on reaction type. 
  • Optimize molecule libraries for QED (Quantitative Estimate of Drug-Likeness), ADMET properties, and binding affinity.
