Aureus Pharma Releases AurPROFILER<sup>®</sup> - a New and Powerful Pharmacology Profiling Solution

17 Aug 2008

Product news

Aureus Pharma, a leading provider of knowledge management solutions that accelerate life science discovery, announced the release today of the new software solution AurPROFILER®. AurPROFILER enables researchers to rapidly evaluate target, cell and drug profiles using bio-assays derived from the activity data found in Aureus Pharma’s AurSCOPE® Target Knowledge databases. AurPROFILER has been designed to work in conjunction with the just released AurSCOPE® Global Pharmacology Space and all of Aureus’ drug target focused knowledge databases.

Compound profiling is routinely used by pharmaceutical researchers to evaluate the critical issues of drug target selectivity including off-target effects, polypharmacology and cytotoxicity. With easily interpretable graphics, AurPROFILER provides valuable insights to help better manage these issues by rapidly providing in-silico profiles. AurPROFILER results facilitate better discovery team decision making, and reduce risk to that streamline drug discovery projects. AurPROFILER was developed in collaboration with a pharmaceutical industry focus group consisting of several major pharmaceutical companies.

“After intensive development and customer validation, we are delighted to release AurPROFILER.” said Jason Theodosiou, President and CEO of Aureus Pharma. “AurPROFILER is an example where the combination of Aureus’ analysis capabilities and the high quality data within AurSCOPE Knowledge databases combine to bring additional value to researchers.”

Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.Data MiningData mining is an important process for extracting information, patterns and trends from data. Data mining software, databases, reference materials and storage packages are available to process lab data.Compound LibrariesCompound libraries, or chemical libraries, are used in drug discovery for the identification of potential therapeutics compounds. Used in conjunction with high-throughput screening, the libraries of stored compounds are often generated for specific purposes as a drug target or disease model. Cheminformatics are commonly used when designing a compound library and software can be used to analyze the screening process.  Biopharmaceutical AdvancesBiopharmaceutical advances follow the development of pharmaceuticals derived from biotechnology, also known as biotechnology medicines. Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.
