Design better quality drug candidates, faster Explore and triage vast chemical space with high precision in silico tools Identifying the best drug candidate — a novel molecule that optimizes key physicochemical properties while maintaining on-target potency and specificity — is the ultimate challenge of lead optimization programs. Schrödinger’s platform for molecular design empowers project teams to deploy a ‘predict-first’ approach to lead optimization challenges, dramatically expanding the pool of molecules that can be explored through highly interactive, fully in silico design cycles. Teams can confidently spend time and energy exploring new, unknown, and often more complex designs while sending only the top performing molecules for synthesis.
