Quickly identify metabolic pathways, potential metabolites and guide compound design to avoid metabolic liabilities. Have confidence in your results, with accurate, transferable predictions based on fundamental mechanistic understanding of Phase I and II enzyme family reactions.

Derek Nexus

Knowledge-based prediction of over 40 toxicity endpoints

StarDrop’s Derek Nexus module provides Lhasa Limited’s world-leading technology for knowledge-based prediction of key toxicities, helping to guide the design of safe and efficacious drugs in hit-to-lead and lead-optimisation.

Nova

Generate and prioritise new, relevant compound ideas

Generate and prioritise new compounds ideas to stimulate the search for compound optimisation strategies for your project:

  • Rigorously explore the chemistry around hits
  • Discover lead-hopping opportunities
  • Identify substitutions likely to improve target activity
  • Fully enumerate new library designs
  • Find patent-busting possibilities

Bioster

A world of chemistry experience

An optional extension to the Nova modules, providing over 27,000 structure modifications and replacement techniques that have been used in analogue design:

  • Identify transformations previously applied to compounds similar to yours
  • Literature references allow quick follow-up of chemistry and biological data
  • Explore diverse compound optimisation strategies
  • Quickly identify patent protection/busting strategies
eSim3D

Inspyra

Guide generative methods to optimise your compounds

Harnesses your expert chemistry knowledge and the exploratory power of generative methods to design optimal compounds faster.

As you work, Inspyra continuously generates new compound ideas in the background while learning from your interactions. Your responses to the ideas proposed by Inspyra guide the generative chemistry methods to explore the most relevant chemistry spaces and suggest optimisation strategies that are most likely to succeed in your projects.
