“Spark is a leading bioisostere replacement tool,” explains Dr Robert Scoffin, CEO of Cresset. “It uses the electrostatic and steric properties of molecules to suggest the best replacements to help you to explore R-groups, hop scaffolds and grow and link fragments. We already have a diverse range of practical fragment and reagent databases, plus the possibility to create your own from in-house compound libraries. The addition of the Spark eMolecules reagent databases will provide Spark users with over 500,000 reagents that are easy to order with known availability. This represents an exciting and powerful new way of generating novel, diverse structures for their projects, linking bioisosteric replacement ideas to chemical feasibility.”
“eMolecules catalogues over 6 million unique chemical structures from vendors worldwide, translating into 1.5 million building blocks,” explains Niko Gubernator, CEO at eMolecules. “Spark from Cresset offers market leading bioisosteric replacement capability and we are delighted that Spark users are now able to use eMolecules to link their results to commercially available compounds. This innovation will speed up the drug optimization cycle, empowering chemists to make the best synthetic choices for their project.”
