Virtual Screening (also called in-silico screening) is a computational approach to select
molecules with desired properties in large molecule libraries. This technique is used to find new lead
candidates in the drug development process. Furthermore, it can reduce the assay-to-lead attrition rate,
time and expensive experiments during the process. LigandScout now allows you to in-silico screen molecule libraries
using 3D pharmacophore models as filter criteria. Furthermore, LigandScout pharmacophores
can be exported for virtual screening in other programs such as Catalyst, MOE and Phase.
