Certara’s New Muse Invent Allows Researchers to Design Synthetically Feasible Drug Candidates
August 11, 2014
A breakthrough development, Muse Invent enables researchers not only to design dream molecules, but it also shows how to produce them in the lab
ST. LOUIS, MO – Aug. 11, 2014 – Certara®, the leading global technology-enabled drug development and drug safety consultancy, announced today that its Muse molecular design workflow for the identification and optimization of lead drug candidates now has virtual synthetic chemistry capabilities. Known as Muse® Invent™, this new product will enable researchers to create drug candidates with novel structures, scaffolds, or side-chains that meet multiple design objectives and are synthetically accessible. It will also describe the necessary synthesis pathway to create them.
“Muse has always been a popular product because it permits ‘outside of the box’ chemistry thinking; it allows customers to generate new chemical ideas without being limited to molecules found in existing databases and product catalogs,” said Certara Chief Technology Officer Jonathan Feldmann. “But when customers became enamored with the new molecules they created in Muse, they wanted to know how to make them in the lab.”
Certara responded promptly to this customer feedback and began to develop Muse Invent.
Brian Masek, a product manager at Certara, added, “Muse Invent is one of the first products to build a bridge between the traditional worlds of molecular design and synthetic chemistry. In the past, design software would suggest and score ideas, while synthetic chemistry tools would help researchers to look up reactions; Muse Invent combines both design and synthesis capabilities in a single product. It enables researchers to generate drug design ideas that satisfy all their criteria for success.”
Certara will launch Muse Invent in the United States at the American Chemical Society Fall National Meeting & Exposition (booth 237) in San Francisco from Aug. 10-14. Its European launch will take place at the 20th EuroQSAR symposium in St. Petersburg, Russia from Aug. 31-Sept. 4.
