Confidently decide which compounds to synthesise and advance with StarDropTM
StarDrop is an intuitive platform for molecular design, optimisation and data analysis. It brings together predictions and experimental data to help you balance activity with ADME and toxicity risks. Despite the uncertainties in all measured or predicted data, StarDrop gives you the evidence to defend your decisions and reach your goals faster.

Know when your data supports a decision
StarDrop helps you decide which compounds to make and which to advance, even when the data are uncertain:
- Bring predictions and experimental data together in one design workflow
- Prioritise your compounds with our Probabilistic Scoring approach to multi-parameter optimisation, accounting for the uncertainty behind every data point
- Avoid missing good compounds because of uncertain measurements or predictions
- Defend your decisions under expert review
- Confidently prioritise across programmes and portfolios
Unlike black-box tools, StarDrop makes the uncertainty in your data visible, so you can see when you can confidently decide between compounds and when the data don’t support your decision. Teams choose what to make, test and advance with greater confidence and efficiency.
The benefits
Fewer wasted cycles, better decisions
Quickly target high-quality compounds
Avoid leaving valuable compounds behind
Make decisions you can defend
What used to involve manually wading through thousands of pages of patent applications now takes less than 10 minutes and just a few clicks.
