Technology & focus
The main field of application is drug discovery, property design and prediction by merging molecular modelling techniques and QSPR methods into 3D-QSPR models. The same strategies can also be used in virtual screening, ADME prediction and profile and prediction of human drug metabolism, where selection or priorisation of candidates is required from large collections of compounds to minimise drug failures.
Training
Molecular Discovery offers training courses on all MD programmes either in MD's or at the customers site. Workshops and seminars on Drug Design methodologies, DMPK prediction and QSPR are also offered upon request. Please contact MD for pricing and availability.
Consulting
We also offer consulting agreements in research areas related with chemometrics and drug discovery. The agreement can involve or not the development of scientific software with limited exclusive rights. We accept a very limited number of such collaborations each year, so please contact us as soon as possible.
Current alliances
Tripos and Molecular Discovery
are collaborating on two projects with both companies providing
complementary expertise. Molecular Discovery, in particular, is
providing ADME models, ADME profiler and the new grid independent
GRIND descriptors to Tripos.
Starting from 1st January 2003 Tripos obtained exclusive distribution
rights in all geographic territories, worldwide, for the VolSurf
and Almond softwares (Unix and Linux). The Tripos Inc. press release
is available here,
along with a PDF
brochure.
