Hit to Lead Identification at PozeSCAF

Our commitment to identifying promising scaffolds has revolutionized the hit-to-lead generation process. Join us on a journey into the core of PozeSCAF’s success in drug discovery.

The Importance of Identifying Promising Scaffolds:

In the intricate realm of drug discovery, the success of a project hinges on the identification of a promising scaffold. This scaffold serves as the foundation for enhanced activity, selectivity/polypharmacology, solubility, permeability, bioavailability, and metabolic stability. At PozeSCAF, our focus on this critical aspect sets the stage for groundbreaking advancements in drug development.

PozeSCAF’s Scaffold Database:

Our scaffold database is a testament to our commitment to excellence. Crafted from natural product, clinical, and drug databases, this extensive resource is shaped by our deep-learning neural network. What sets it apart is the optimization of ADME properties, ensuring the scaffolds meet the highest standards. We employ scaffold-hopping to modify hit compounds, introducing a layer of creativity and innovation to our hit-to-lead process.

AI Generative Algorithms for High Affinity Compounds:

PozeSCAF’s use of AI generative algorithms takes hit-to-lead identification to new heights. These algorithms leverage structural features to decorate scaffolds with complementary groups, resulting in high-affinity compounds. The entire process is meticulously scrutinized for solubility, permeability, bioavailability, and metabolic stability, ensuring the quality of the leads.

Analyzing Selectivity with Bio-Models:

PozeSCAF’s bio-models play a pivotal role in analyzing the selectivity and potential off-target effects of the designed compounds. This step ensures that our leads are not only potent but also targeted, reducing the risk of unforeseen complications during the drug development journey.

Binding Free Energy Calculations:

Quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical simulations, coupled with free energy perturbations, calculate the binding free energy of compounds with the target. This rigorous approach provides insights into the interactions at a molecular level, guiding the selection of compounds with the highest potential.
