Compound design and optimisation

You don’t have a prediction problem. You have a decision problem.

Choosing which compounds to advance is the hard part. Optibrium’s compound design and optimisation platform brings together the evidence behind each prediction and measurement, revealing where data support a decision, where it doesn’t, so drug discovery teams can decide with confidence.

The problem

A number is not a decision

A prediction or a measurement gives you a number, not a decision. It doesn’t, in itself, tell you whether a molecule is good or not.

Without understanding what’s behind the number, you’re left guessing how much to trust it, how much time and resource to invest, and whether you’re leaving a valuable molecule behind.

Our solution

Confidently decide which compounds to optimise and advance

Our platform brings together predictions and experimental data, enabling to you make confident decisions despite imperfect data and uncertain model predictions. Balance activity, ADME and toxicity risks and have the evidence to defend your decisions.

01

Increase confidence

Our approach to probabilistic scoring for multi-parameter optimisation accounts for the uncertainty behind every data point. You won’t incorrectly reject a compound due to an uncertain experiment or prediction.

02

Know when data supports a decision

Understand when you can confidently differentiate between compounds, and when the data is too uncertain to defend a decision.

03

Test on your own projects

See how it performs on your own data, not just vendor-selected case studies.

R-group analysis across thousands of compounds from patent applications, turning days of manual searching into a single download and a few clicks.

A holistic view

See the full picture for every compound

No single prediction tells you whether a compound is worth making.

You’re balancing activity, ADME and toxicity risks despite imperfect data and uncertain model predictions.

Bring together your compound design, optimisation and data analysis workflows so you can make informed decisions that you can defend.
