Tibco Software has released Spotfire Lead Discovery software.
It provides an easy-to-use, highly visual and interactive environment for exploring chemical structures and any associated data.
The system allows chemists to quickly access chemical and biological data in a single analysis environment, then easily build best-practice applications for chemical structure analysis.
The system, built on the powerful Tibco Spotfire enterprise analytics platform, integrates with cheminformatics software, including Symyx and Cambridgesoft.
In order to determine which compounds to synthesise to optimise the drug discovery and development process, chemists must evaluate an increasing number of parameters - from chemical properties and biological assays to absorption and excretion (ADME) results.
Spotfire Lead Discovery offers intuitive data representations and best practice analytics processes that any chemist can use to quickly ask and answer their own questions of their data.
Medicinal and computational chemists can investigate and drive structural recommendations more quickly and thoroughly, improving the process for choosing synthesis paths for effective drug design.
To jump-start analysis, the software includes a range of best practice applications for lead discovery, including library, structure activity, relationship, selectivity and compound series analysis.
Tibco Spotfire Lead Discovery provides the ability to: visually interact with 3D scatter plots, profile charts, pie charts, bar charts and histograms, while filtering data via range sliders, check boxes, radio buttons or search; represent complex datasets and quickly identify relationships between structures, calculated or measured properties, and biological assay results; manage and compare an unlimited number of chemical structures; integrate with a variety of chemical databases and structure-searching capabilities; share analysis, workflow and decision points with key collaborators in a common analysis environment; load chemical data from chemical cartridges and SD files.
