CCDC > CCDC Webinar: Scaffold Hopping for Digital Drug Design

CCDC Webinar: Scaffold Hopping for Digital Drug Design

Date of Event

23 March 2023

Scaffold hopping is a drug discovery process that involves the identification of novel compounds structurally similar to existing drugs.

Thursday 23rd March 2023

4:00 – 5:00 pm GMT / 12:00 – 1:00 pm EDT / 09:00 – 10:00 am PDT

Scaffold hopping is a drug discovery process that involves the identification of novel compounds structurally similar to existing drugs. This powerful approach can be used to identify compounds with enhanced efficacy or reduced toxicity.

During this webinar, we will demonstrate a computational tool for identifying compounds with analogous chemical scaffolds that are starting points for drug design. The CSD-CrossMiner software allows you to identify alternative scaffolds and generate new ideas for further lead optimization. Join the webinar to learn more about CSD-CrossMiner and its benefits for your drug design process.

We will demonstrate:

CSD-CrossMiner features to identify alternative scaffolds for drug design
How to create feature databases
How to install CSD-CrossMiner

Who should attend:

Computational and pharmaceutical scientists
Computational chemists
Academic researchers
