Aureus Pharma changes name to Aureus Sciences

7 Feb 2011

Aureus Pharma, a provider of knowledge management solutions for the life sciences industry, has changed it name to Aureus Sciences, and launched a new web portal to bring better access to its range of advanced drug discovery tools and knowledge.

Aureus Sciences has built its new web portal around its unique knowledge platform, the culmination of ten years’ intensive development. This analyzes, indexes and organizes critical chemical and bioactivity information of the druggable genome into best-in-class scientific databases for use by researchers involved in the drug-discovery process.

The portal is designed to provide easier access and live experience for Aureus Sciences’ highly sophisticated tools with several search and visualization options. It is unique in offering access to editorial content, the application server and community networks. The tools include applications and content, as well as help for users to understand the value of proposed solutions better and faster in a unique way.

Medicinal chemists, pharmacologists, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics scientists can navigate in the portal and conduct searches in Aureus’ knowledgebases that contain more than three million biological activities.

Scientists can also filter results, such as compound activity, therapeutic target affinity, ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion) and DDI (Drug Drug Interaction) properties. A unique feature of the portal is the display of results in a scientifically relevant context through a selection of “dashboards” that show detailed coverage of the topics in Aureus Sciences’ knowledge space.

Further drill-down searches are also available free of charge to registered users for a limited period of time. Full access is available under a named user license agreement.

“The new Aureus-Sciences application portal is a major achievement for our company,” said Dr Jason Theodosiou, president & CEO of Aureus Sciences. “For the first time we are offering a unique single-point access to all of our tools, applications, notes, scientific communications and technical documentation. This will make it substantially easier for our prospective customers to make use of our know-how, provide more comprehensive interaction and help them accelerate their research projects with data they can trust.”
