Rapid navigation of increasingly complex druggable chemical space is critical for innovative drug design. However, chemical synthesis and route design is still a significant challenge. In this session, we will discuss recent development in predictive retrosynthesis. Also, we explore how Reaxys collaborated with Pending.AI, a startup led by Prof. Mark Waller, to develop a ‘deep learning’ solution that predicts new synthesis routes with high accuracy for creating small organic compounds. The presentation will focus on:
1. Science behind AI powered predictive retrosynthesis
2. Reaxys predictive retrosynthesis overview and demo
3. Discussion on benefits, limitation of technology and future roadmap
