What problem does it solve?
Medchem addresses the challenge of efficiently filtering and prioritizing compound libraries in drug discovery by applying a suite of medicinal chemistry rules, structural alerts, complexity metrics, and a custom query language.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Medicinal Chemistry Rules: Apply Lipinski, Veber, CNS, and other drug-likeness rules.
- Structural Alert Filters: Identify problematic patterns using PAINS, NIBR, and ChEMBL rules.
- Complexity Metrics: Calculate and filter compounds based on molecular complexity.
- Functional API: Provides one-call wrappers for common operations, simplifying filtering workflows.
- Use Case: Imagine you have a large compound library and want to prioritize it based on drug-likeness and structural alert rules to quickly identify potential drug candidates.
Quick Start
Use the medchem skill to apply the rule of five and PAINS filters to the compound library 'library.sdf'.
