Computational medicinal chemistry platform
About
AccelBio leverages advanced in silico capabilities to streamline the drug discovery process, enhancing both efficiency and accuracy.
Through target validation, the platform employs in silico predictions and structure-based assessments to ensure that biological targets are suitable for intervention.
In hit identification, AccelBio uses a range of computational techniques, including virtual screening, ligand and structure-based drug design, molecular docking, and quantum mechanics, to predict the binding affinity and selectivity of compounds. These methods enable the analysis of vast compound libraries in a fraction of the time and cost required for traditional experimental screening, accelerating the hit identification process. Moreover, computational models predict the interactions, biological activity, and toxicity of compounds, allowing researchers to prioritize the most promising candidates.
The platform’s large-scale virtual screening capabilities can evaluate millions of compounds simultaneously, vastly expanding the chemical space explored.
In lead optimization, AccelBio integrates sophisticated techniques like pharmacophore studies, molecular dynamics simulations, and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analyses to fine-tune compounds, ensuring optimal efficacy and reduced toxicity. Additionally, machine learning and AI-based methods provide a more nuanced understanding of multifactorial data, including activity, toxicity, and pharmacokinetics, leading to more informed decision-making throughout the drug development pipeline.
With this suite of in silico tools, AccelBio offers significant time and cost efficiencies while enhancing the predictive power and scalability of the drug discovery process.
