Scaffold hopping with library enumeration

In this example, scaffold hopping with library enumeration, we are going to use the library enumeration feature in StarDrop’s Nova module, in combination with R-group analysis.

We will generate a virtual library representing a potential new lead series, based on a previous series. We will explore the impact of a change of scaffold and variations in a side chain, while retaining the substituents at two key positions.

Depending on which version of StarDrop you have the results may appear slightly differently, due to changes in the underlying knowledgebase. Therefore, if you would like a different version of the PDF instructions to match your StarDrop version, please contact support@optibrium.com.
