Frequently Asked Questions

-
Discngine Ideation Analytics - SAR Slides is a software module that automatically generates Structure–Activity Relationship (SAR) reports directly from project data.
It addresses a common challenge in medicinal chemistry: creating clear SAR overviews from spreadsheets, PowerPoint, or multiple disconnected tools - often time-consuming and prone to errors.
Ideation Analytics - SAR Slides organizes compounds and associated data (whether bioassay data or predictions) into clear visual SAR summaries in a few steps, allowing medicinal chemists to focus on interpreting results and making compound design decisions rather than on assembling reports manually.
-
Traditional SAR reporting involves collecting data from multiple sources, manually drawing and aligning chemical structures, and repeatedly preparing and updating reports. This process could take hours or even days. Ideation Analytics - SAR Slides automates these steps by generating SAR visualizations directly from project data, eliminating manual work and reducing errors.
Tasks that typically take 0.5–1.5 days could be reduced to minutes. For example, chemists at Bayer reported that around 80% of their SAR analyses shifted from taking multiple days to just a couple of hours or less when using SAR Slides.
-
Ideation Analytics - SAR Slides relies on Matched Molecular Pair (MMP) analysis and R-Group Deconvolution (RGD) analysis to support SAR exploration. These methods automatically generate structured, visual SAR summaries around a query compound or scaffold respectively.
Advanced visualization features help users to refine the output both in terms of content and layout, focus on desired compounds/scaffolds, and spot differences.
Ideation Analytics - SAR Slides also suggests starting points, a feature particularly useful when dealing with large and/or unfamiliar datasets or patents.
-
Ideation Analytics - SAR Slides is designed to be adopted quickly within medicinal chemistry teams.
Users typically begin generating and exploring SAR reports after a short onboarding session or guided demo.
The interface does not require formal cheminformatics expertise, and core functionality can generally be covered in a single walkthrough, with additional features used progressively.
-
Ideation Analytics - SAR Slides is delivered as a cloud‑based application accessible through a web browser, with no local installation or infrastructure to manage.
Discngine operates the platform under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification that covers software development, customer support, and SaaS hosting of all its software solutions. Data is handled within a managed cloud environment, with encrypted data transfers and security controls aligned with industry standards.
This approach gives scientific teams peace of mind to focus on research while Discngine manages deployment updates, security, and the cloud environment.
-
Ideation Analytics - SAR Slides integrates into existing discovery workflows by supporting standard data formats such as SDF, CSV, and MOE database files (.mdb).
It offers ready-made integrations with platforms including Spotfire®, Schrödinger LiveDesign®, and Certara D360™, enabling SAR reports to be generated directly starting from these environments.
An API is also available for custom connections to internal resources. As a web-based application, SAR Slides can be used alongside or embedded within other existing customer platforms without disrupting active workflows.
