Virtual screening

Accelerate your drug discovery with virtual screening

Our scientists provide a comprehensive suite of virtual screening solutions to help you discover new chemical starting points or enhance existing hits. Our proven platform, powered by our life science database (LSDB), can efficiently identify active compounds tailored to your needs. By integrating your historical assay and screening data with advanced machine learning (ML) tools, we rapidly prioritise promising hit molecules, helping streamline your drug discovery process. We customise our services to meet the unique requirements of your programs, helping deliver solutions that drive your success.

Streamlined virtual screening

We offer access to extensive compound libraries, including our in-house collection of approximately 3 million proprietary compounds and external on-demand chemical spaces. Our virtual screening services include:

  • Ligand-based screening: utilising 2D/3D features like shape and pharmacophores from single compounds or seed molecules
  • Structure-based screening: employing molecular docking to identify potential binders using 3D structural data of targets
  • Data mining: Leveraging our life science database (LSDB) to identify hits based on target class, off-target activity and other parameters
  • Hybrid approaches: combining methods to rapidly screen large collections and identify promising hits.

Why choose virtual screening?

  • Fast, cost-effective access to vast chemical libraries
  • Efficient identification of active compounds and scaffold hops
  • Ideal for protein targets or assay platforms unsuitable for large-scale experimental screening.

The Nuvisan advantage

Partnering with us gives you access to experienced consultants, proprietary ML models, virtual screening at scale and seamless follow-up testing. We deliver tailored, cost-effective solutions that help accelerate your drug discovery journey.
