Lead Optimization Module

Lead Optimization is the final phase of the chemistry part of the drug discovery process. During lead optimization, the structures of candidate molecules are manipulated to achieve an optimal balance between a variety of properties including target selectivity, potency, efficacy, and safety. Computational methods used in lead optimization include estimation of ADMET properties and binding affinity, identification of ligand binding hotspots, and accurate binding mode prediction.

OpenEye solutions in the Lead Optimization Module include Machine Learning, 3D-QSAR, Molecular Dynamics, Freeform, SZMAP, BROOD, Permeability, and POSIT.
