Simulations Plus, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLP), a leading provider of consulting services and software for pharmaceutical discovery and development, today announced that it has released version 7.1 of its best-in-class ADMET Predictor™ molecular property prediction software.
Dr. Robert Fraczkiewicz, team leader for ADMET Cheminformatics at Simulations Plus, said, “The release of ADMET Predictor 7.1 adds several functions requested by our users around the world, including:
- Ability to run under the KNIME workflow manager in addition to Pipeline Pilot™
- Output options now provide enhanced access to the new pKa model released in version 7.0
- Improvements to several aspects of the graphical user interface (GUI)
- Additional command-line options
- Improvements to the ADMET Modeler™ model-building subprogram
- Improved integration with our GastroPlus™ software”
Dr. Fraczkiewicz continued, “Industry scientists increasingly prefer automating analyzing and reporting scientific data. KNIME is an open automation platform whose significance has been steadily growing over the past few years. ADMET Predictor now seamlessly incorporates itself into both KNIME and the popular commercial platform called Pipeline Pilot™.”
Mr. John DiBella, vice president for marketing and sales for Simulations Plus, added: “This interim release of ADMET Predictor addresses a number of requested features that we wanted to deploy to our users as soon as possible rather than wait for the next major release. ADMET Predictor continues to enjoy its industry-leading reputation for predictive accuracy and computational speed, and was a key product in our recent malaria and COX-2/COX-1 NCE (new chemical entity) projects. This release demonstrates our commitment to maximizing the productivity of our users as quickly as possible.”
