About this webinar

CAS IP Finder offers a powerful combination of curated chemical data with patent-focused intelligence. Accessing this chemical content by structure searching enables the discovery of substances embedded in patent and non-patent literature—insights that traditional keyword searches would miss. These are critical hits for IP and R&D teams to assess novelty and FTO, identify competitors’ compounds, and accelerate innovation decisions.

Join us as we demonstrate practical approaches for searching substances by structure, identifying related documents, and reviewing the substance information they contain.

What you will learn

• Relevant features of the STN structure editor
• How to control the scope of substance searches
• How to evaluate uncovered patents and non-patent literature for their chemical content

About This Webinar

For decades, most drug scaffolds have been made from flat, two-dimensional structures, but biological targets inside the body are three-dimensional and complex, which limits how well flat scaffolds can do their job. Spiro[2.3]hexanes are a promising class of compact, three-dimensional scaffolds for drug development. However, they've been largely avoided because they're difficult to synthesize and are often poorly characterized biologically.

In this webinar, our panel will walk through a flexible new synthesis method used to produce these scaffolds. We'll then show how AI-driven predictive analytics in CAS BioFinder® were used to quickly identify the most promising candidates before committing to expensive lab testing. The result is a practical, reproducible workflow that demonstrates how AI and synthetic chemistry can work together to accelerate early-stage drug discovery.
