Bring your data into StarDrop
The first thing you’ll want to do in StarDrop is to import your data. StarDrop supports many standard data formats (including CSV, SDF, and MOL2); this short video shows you how to load data files in StarDrop, with links to other resources for merging, filtering, and managing your data sets to make sure you’re always working with your most current data.
If you work with CDD Vault or Certara D360, we have direct database integrations that can help you load your data. If this is something that you’d like to try, please reach out to our support team, who will be happy to work with you on database integration.
Visualise and analyse your data
StarDrop has a wide variety of powerful and intuitive options for data visualisation to help you analyse your data and make confident decisions on your project.
- Charts and Visualisations: Quickly make information-rich visualisations to help you understand relationships in your data. Explore our series of short videos that demonstrate how to create and customise visualisations.
- Card View®: Use Card View to break free from the confines of traditional spreadsheets to view and analyse your compounds in ways that highlight important relationships. This short video introduces Card View with links to examples of other ways you can use Card View to analyse SAR on your project.
- Structure-Activity Relationships (SAR): Easily perform comprehensive R-group decompositions and to visualise and analyse your SAR. This video shows how to make information-rich SAR plots with links to our tutorial series for R-group analysis.
Interactively explore compound optimisation and design
Define a weighted profile of property criteria to describe the ideal outcome for your project and compare all your candidate molecules against these requirements to quickly see which are most likely to succeed. This video introduces you to StarDrop’s Probabilistic Scoring approach to multi-parameter optimisation (MPO), with links to other MPO resources. Start from one of our built-in MPO templates or build your own!
Use StarDrop’s Glowing Molecule™ to visualise the structure-activity relationships captured by the ADME and toxicity models available in StarDrop to assist your interpretation of predictive models and to guide the design of improved compounds. You can find examples of how to effectively use the Glowing Molecule in our tutorial videos linked below.
Use our tutorials to quickly master new features
We have a wide range of quick tips and worked examples to help you become familiar with StarDrop and its modules. We recommend that you start with our Neurokinin-2 tutorial, which walks you through a hit-to-lead workflow covering many of the core features of StarDrop. Data sets and step-by-step instructions are provided with each tutorial.
We also have tutorials to help you explore any of the modules you license:
