Predictive Modeling Software

By R&D Editors | April 26, 2010

Optibrium offers StarDrop 4.3, predictive modeling software that helps users to identify chemistries and guides compound selection and design decisions in all stages of drug discovery. StarDrop 4.3 is the first major update to the softare.


The interactive software platform guides the decisions of drug discovery scientists while designing and prioritizing molecules with the aim of achieving an optimal balance of properties. By combining predicted (in silico) properties for molecules with measured in vitro and in vivo data, this integrated desktop tool enables scientists to rapidly identify and design high quality molecules to meet project objectives.


The software accounts for potential errors to provide scientists with a rigorous analysis on which to make rational decisions. The data available in drug discovery typically have a high degree of uncertainty due to experimental variability or predictive error.


Enhancements to StarDrop 4.3 include the Molecule View feature, which enables users to drag and drop properties to customize layout for viewing and printing and scroll through compounds viewing all properties together. In the Molecule View, StarDrop’s Glowing Molecule visualization feature highlights regions of candidate molecules that may have the most influence on predicted properties, allowing users to test new ideas interactively with instant feedback.
