The Nova ideas generated depend on the parameters set by users’ input, which are based on over 200 commonly known transformations. The proposed compounds generated would make ‘sense’ to a chemist in terms of their properties. Chapter 10 of the reference guide* describes the properties of the resulting predicted compounds and the most promising ideas are prioritised for further consideration to identify those that are most likely to have a good balance of the properties required in a high quality drug.

This example goes through the generation of new compound ideas using ‘Med. Chem. transformations’ and prioritised against a project’s requirements. This is based on an example we published in J. Chem. Inf. Model. 2011, 51 (11), pp. 2967-2976.
