Spinifex: Chemical Similarity Software

Spinifex is advanced chemical similarity software developed using a graph-based Maximum Overlapping Set (MOS) approach.

Spinifex is a superior, automated clustering method that detects similarities between structures with  similar spatial arrangements but without a common substructure.

Spinifex is ideally suited to medchem programs and has been optimised to meet the needs of HTS data analysis, lead discovery and lead optimisation.

Rigorous testing has reinforced the superiority of our MOS-based compound clustering approach over the maximum common substructure (MCS) approach favoured by many of our competitors.

To find out more about Spinifex, including its key features, please see our slides and publications below.
