Optibrium and ChemAxon Announce Technology Collaboration

Optibrium and ChemAxon, developers of software and cheminformatics solutions for drug discovery, have announced the results of a collaboration to integrate ChemAxon’s Plexus with Optibrium’s StarDrop software suite. The integration of these platforms further enables researchers to develop strategies for efficient, high quality compound library design.

The StarDrop software platform from Optibrium facilitates multi-parameter optimisation, property prediction and data visualisation to guide the design of high quality compounds for drug discovery projects. ChemAxon’s Plexus is a web-based collaborative discovery platform which enables scaffold- and reaction-based enumeration of compound libraries.

As a result of the collaboration, a seamlessly integrated workflow and user interface is available in StarDrop for the application of Plexus to enumerate compound libraries. These are returned as data sets within StarDrop for detailed analysis, visualisation and selection of compounds with an optimised balance of the properties required for success.

Matthew Segall, CEO of Optibrium, will provide an overview of the results of this collaboration at ChemAxon's European User Group Meeting being held in Budapest, Hungary, 19–20 May.
