Webinar Summary

In recent years, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have made concerted efforts to focus on the quality, rather than quantity, of compounds produced in discovery. Lead optimization efforts are guided by a combination of factors, such as potency, ease of synthesis, specific constraints of the interaction with the target, as well as a lead's toxicity and ADME properties. Balancing numerous inter-related molecular properties (such as solubility and permeability) can be a significant challenge, and often, understanding the effect of individual properties and the relationship between property values and molecular structure is insufficient.

This webinar will introduce ACD/Percepta—a flexible platform for the deployment of various tools supporting pharmaceutical research and development in one seamless environment:

  • Simple to use data analysis and manipulation tools, backed up by industry-leading predictive capabilities and the ability to swiftly integrate in-house models.
  • ACD/Structure Design Engine with its intuitive guidance towards regions of physicochemical property space populated by analogs with optimized ADME characteristics.

All of these features and many more useful details provide the scientist with insights that can direct new projects, accelerate decision-making, and reduce trial-and-error experimentation.

With its flexible licensing scheme and customization options, ACD/Percepta can be adapted to the needs of any scale. Whether you are a small company or a large corporation, this webinar will be equally beneficial in teaching you proven techniques to boost productivity in your medicinal chemistry projects and facilitate knowledge sharing, all with the help of the ACD/Percepta Platform.

Learning Objectives

  • How to perform visual data mining and compound ranking using Physicochemical, ADME, and Safety profiles of your compounds
  • How to optimize the ADME profile of your candidate structure in a focused and intelligent way
  • How to use ACD/Percepta as a platform for your own custom tools
  • How to make the most of your existing in-house expertise by effectively sharing it throughout your institution
