Pharma and Biotech | Power user tips:
- Explore a target & identify white space
Search for a target using Quick Search, review the AI-powered summary, and dive into the underlying document results to uncover research gaps. - Design a scaffold with target and bioactivity data
Draw or paste a scaffold and analyze linked substances, bioactivity data, and SAR trends to prioritize promising candidates. - Plan synthesis routes
Search for reactions or design a synthesis route using the retrosynthesis planner.
R&D teams | Power user tips:
- Search a technical topic
Start in Quick Search with a materials, catalyst or process query, use the AI summary to orient, then open linked documents to verify the evidence. Explore substances, properties and data
Move into substances to review properties, spectral and safety data, availability and linked evidence.- Compare and optimize synthesis routes
Move into Reactions or Retrosynthesis, compare published and predicted routes, assess feasibility, cost and scalability. Assess patent space and monitor activity
Review patent-linked chemistry, assignees and families, then set alerts to monitor new developments.
