StarDrop resources

We routinely use Stardrop to visualise complex multi-parameter datasets, which helps inform the next stage of medicinal chemistry design. A welcome addition to the platform is the Metabolism module which enhances our ability to address metabolic liabilities, through predicting likely sites of metabolism by CYPs, AO and UGT enzymes. The user-friendly interface makes data analysis and property prediction easily accessible to medicinal chemists. A great drug discovery tool!
