Compound design and optimisation

Decide which compounds to advance

Compound design and optimisation software that reveals where each model and prediction holds, where uncertainty remains, and how confidently a chemist can choose what to make and advance.

Why leading drug discovery teams choose StarDrop™

What used to involve manually wading through thousands of pages of patent applications now takes less than 10 minutes and just a few clicks.

The problem

You can’t predict risk early enough

Most drug discovery teams cannot reliably predict the toxicity, metabolism and exposure risks that sink compounds until it is too late.

The solution

Uncover how much you can trust a prediction

StarDrop helps medium and large biopharma chemists decide which compounds to make and which to advance, when the data is uncertain:

  • Inspect the basis of the model inside the compound design workflow
  • Make design decisions with a stated level of confidence
  • Defend those decisions under scientific scrutiny
  • Extend that confidence across programmes and portfolios

Unlike black-box tools, it reveals the confidence, applicability and limitations behind each model and prediction, giving scientists evidence they can interrogate and defend. By bringing that evidence into the compound design workflow, StarDrop™ helps teams decide what to make, test and advance with greater confidence and less wasted work.
