InhibOx Announces Important Breakthrough in Molecular Similarity: Chiral Shape Recognition (CSR)

Oxford, UK - November 2009

The quantitative measurement of molecular similarity has long been an essential tool in computer-aided drug discovery, in particular for the identification of new leads and scaffold hopping. Until now, however, there has been no fast, non-superpositional method that accounts for enantiomeric (mirror image) molecules, an essential facet of many biological interactions. InhibOx has now made an important breakthrough to meet this challenge.

Successful DrugFinder Collaboration with Oxford University Chemistry Department Discovers Novel Kinase Inhibitors

Oxford, UK - November 2009

As part of its DrugFinder initiative, InhibOx has undertaken a project in collaboration with the group of Dr. Angela Russell of the Chemistry Department, at the University of Oxford.  Taking an oncology kinase target as its starting point, InhibOx performed virtual screening of its internal databases, using its proprietary software platform to identify potential inhibitors for experimental screening.

InhibOx presents at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2009: “Harnessing Modern Web Technologies for Virtual Screening.”
