Torx Software Limited, provider of technology for managing small molecule discovery chemistry, has announced the release of Torx Test™ and Torx Analyze™ to complete the Torx platform. Torx is a single web-based solution that enables drug discovery teams to work together, share knowledge, manage resources, and track progress throughout the Design-Make-Test-Analyze (DMTA) workflow.

Torx Test connects chemists and assay scientists to enable seamless scheduling, management, and results delivery for biological, physico-chemical, ADMET and other assays. It removes the administrative burden from the testing process by providing a platform to submit requests upon compound registration as well as follow-up requests from Torx Make™, and monitor progress in real-time.

Torx Analyze combines 2D and 3D analysis of molecule data loaded from corporate databases with the extensive information sharing and molecule design capabilities of Torx Design™. It enables research chemists to understand their data, evaluate their hypothesis and inspire the next round of design.

“We’re delighted to complete the Torx platform with this release,” said Dr. Tim Cheeseright, CEO, Torx Software, “The four dedicated modules work in synergy to deliver a complete solution for small molecule discovery teams. By integrating Torx into their drug discovery programs, research managers and scientists can better plan, manage and track their DMTA workflows across all R&D projects.”

“Torx connects all team members and external partners in a single, chemistry-aware web-based platform,” said Dr. Paul Faulder, Co-Chairman, Torx Software. “We’re looking forward to supporting more teams working in pharma and biotech industries to facilitate insightful decision making and increase productivity so they can shorten the time taken to get their drugs to market.”

Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.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.  Medicinal ChemistryMedicinal chemistry is a broad discipline encompassing the design, identification, synthesis and development of chemicals in drug discovery. It includes a number of techniques covering structural biology, synthetic chemistry and molecular biology. Technologies used in medicinal chemistry include ADME, lab-on-a-chip, high content screening and assay assembly.Discovery SoftwareComputational techniques used in both the chemistry and biology aspects of drug discovery, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Software is used for analysis of pathways, target identification, genomics, proteomics, modelling, lead identification, compound analysis and drug modelling among many others. Molecular DesignSoftware SolutionAssay DevelopmentThe process of proving an assay to be sensitive with respect to the target is known as assay development. The assay should be able to characterize novel compounds and measure the potency of these compounds against a validated biological target.Drug DiscoveryDrug discovery is the process of identifying potential new medications, involving stages such as target identification, compound screening, and preclinical development. It relies on cutting-edge technologies like high-throughput screening, artificial intelligence, and molecular modeling to accelerate the identification of drug candidates. Drug discovery plays a pivotal role in developing new therapies for diseases ranging from cancer to rare genetic disorders.
