X-Chem’s New AI-Powered Ecosystem to Accelerate Drug Discovery

WALTHAM, Mass.; April 19, 2022 (Business Wire) — X-Chem, the leader of DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology and artificial intelligence (AI) for small molecule drug discovery, today announced the availability of XD3 — X-Chem’s Dynamic Drug Discovery ecosystem for biopharma partners and clients. XD3 combines the vast trove of data generated by DEL screening, the analytical and predictive power of X-Chem’s artificial intelligence platform, ArtemisAI, and its deep medicinal chemistry expertise into an end-to-end package designed to accelerate the path to new medicines.

“The generation of large datasets and artificial intelligence are transforming drug discovery,” said X-Chem CEO, Matt Clark, Ph.D. “We believe our XD3 Dynamic Drug Discovery ecosystem will maximally leverage our state-of-the-art technology in the pursuit of innovative drugs for novel and difficult disease targets. We want to transform the drug discovery process to bring drug hunters from target-to-clinical candidate at unparalleled speed.”

With XD3, X-Chem’s scientists seamlessly combine DEL, medicinal chemistry and AI to deliver enhanced small molecule drug discovery services in these combinations:

• AI + DEL applies the ArtemisAI platform to the depth of DEL screening data; we can predict novel hits and expand the scope of chemical space accessed for hit generation
• DEL + Med Chem combines DEL screening with medicinal chemistry to streamline progression from hit-to-lead to candidate
• Med Chem + AI accelerates medicinal chemistry through use of ArtemisAI’s predictive models for key pharmacological parameters
