Clustering of Environmental Compounds Based on Structure and Toxicokinetic Properties

Clustering of Environmental Compounds Based on Structure and Toxicokinetic Properties

Conference: SOT
Software: ADMET Predictor®
Division: Cheminformatics

Traditional toxicokinetic (TK) models rely heavily on in vivo data, necessitating animal testing. At the same time, the scientific toolbox is expanding with new approach methodologies (NAMs) that do not rely on TK studies.

Breaking Barriers in PROTAC Design: Improving Solubility of USP7-Targeting Degraders

Breaking Barriers in PROTAC Design: Improving Solubility of USP7-Targeting Degraders

Publication: ChemRxiv
Software: ADMET Predictor®
Division: Cheminformatics

The development of von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) hijacking proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) has been hindered by suboptimal physicochemical properties, including high total polar surface area (TPSA), high hydrogen bond donor (HBD) counts, and poor solubility.
