How much time do you lose focusing on molecules that cannot be synthesized?
M1 RetroScore powered by CAS is a synthetic accessibility scoring tool created to save your time by using deep learning models trained on CAS chemical reaction content to predict the likelihood of synthesis for novel small molecules.
How does it work?
M1 RetroScore powered by CAS enables you to estimate how hard it is to synthesize a given compound allowing you to focus on drug candidates with the lowest synthesis costs and the highest probability of success.
The underlying generative model does this by looking for an actual synthesis pathway that must be executed to obtain the target compound. It considers many different synthetic pathways, choosing the most promising one for target synthesis. These various pathways are evaluated and assigned a score on a scale from 1 (easiest) to 10 (hardest) based on four key factors:
-
Number of steps in the synthesis pathway
-
Availability and cost of starting materials
-
Feasibility of reactions in the pathway
-
Order of the reactions
(risky reactions ideally take place at the start of a given pathway)
