Optibrium enables collaborative design in its StarDrop platform
- The new Idea Tracker capability further improves the efficiency of drug discovery by supporting project management, idea sharing and molecule design tracking
- The software promotes collaboration within and across teams for more cohesive workflows
CAMBRIDGE, UK, 15 February 2024 – Optibrium, a leading developer of software and AI solutions for drug discovery, today announced the release of StarDrop 7.6, the latest version of its platform for small molecule design, optimisation and analysis. As part of the release, Optibrium introduces a new extension, Idea Tracker, with which medicinal chemists can now easily trace molecular design and optimisation decisions through every step of the complex discovery process, from idea conception to selecting candidates for synthesis.
In a typical drug design journey, whilst information about synthesised compounds is relatively well tracked, information about the genesis and progression of initial ideas is often lacking. Optibrium’s Idea Tracker provides a registration system for ‘virtual’ compounds to bridge this disconnect and enhance workflow efficiency. It facilitates collaboration between team members, both local and remote, providing clear visibility of compound designs and progression across entire discovery projects. This supports better decision-making and prioritisation of synthesis and testing candidates. By linking data for synthesised compounds back to their original designs, iterative improvements can be easily visualised, and future design strategies informed.
