Welcome

This web server provides online access to realize a full workflow of building a Structure‑Activity/Property Relationship(SAR/SPR) model. It provides a browser-based pipelining which requires no programming skills. Therefore, It is applicable for users including pharmacologists and biological scientists, not only the computational chemistry or chemoinformatics scientists. To start using it, please click the menu item on the top. If you prefer an example or get some problems please refer the 'Help' section.

In silico predictive models have proved to be valuable for the optimisation of compound potency, selectivity and safety profiles in the drug discovery process. ChemSAR is an web-accessible platform that provides an easy-to-use interface for the rapid generation of quantitative Structure‑Property and Structure‑Activity classification models for small molecules (including SAR, SPR, SAM) and is aimed at both advanced and users without any programming skills. ChemSAR’s capabilities include the validation and standardisation of chemical structure representation, computation of 783 1D/2D molecular descriptors and 10 types of commonly used fingerprints for small molecules, filtering methods for feature selection, generation of predictive models (a step-by-step job submission process), as well as a helpful report generation system. Results can be visualised through high-quality, customisable plots and be downloaded as certain files.
