A Chemical Computing Group MOE alternative
StarDrop. A MOE alternative.
Comparing MOE from Chemical Computing Group? StarDrop brings predictive QSAR, ADME modelling and multi-parameter optimisation together in one intuitive platform, with the confidence and limits behind every prediction made clear, so medicinal chemists can design better compounds and decide what to make next.

The problem
A number is not a decision
A prediction gives you a number, not a decision. Without understanding what’s behind it, you’re left guessing how much to trust it and how much time and resource to invest before the chemistry tells you otherwise.
Our unique solution
Decide which compounds to optimise and advance
Our platform shows you where each prediction holds, and where it doesn’t, across toxicity, metabolism, exposure and ADME risks. Know exactly where the models stop being reliable, so you can defend the decision.
Compound J looks like a clear miss on the predicted value alone. But its confidence interval crosses the target line, so it could still be active. Seeing the uncertainty and the model’s limits keeps J in contention, rather than discounting a compound that might turn out to be your candidate.
Increase confidence
Probabilistic scoring accounts for the uncertainty behind every prediction, so a good compound near your cut-off isn’t lost to noise.
Uncover limitations
Clear guidance on where a prediction is reliable, where it is uncertain, and where to stop trusting it.
Test on your own data
Validated against your chemistry, not just vendor-selected case studies.
Trusted by more than 200 global drug discovery teams
From top 10 pharma to small biotech and academia.
The outcome
Fewer molecules made. Decisions you can defend.
