Structural toxicity triage for early leads

Identify structural liabilities. Surface plausible mechanisms. Propose concrete med-chem edits.

Most tox tools stop at the alert.

ALERTMECHANISMMITIGATION

CADRIS bridges the gap between simple toxicity alerts and actionable lead optimization by surfacing likely mechanisms and proposing concrete med-chem edits.

Deterministic Logic

No black-box scores. Every flag is anchored in structural reasoning, from reactive metabolite risks to hERG association.

Stateless IP Protection

Zero-retention environment. We do not store SMILES, structures, or session data in any database.

Immediate Deployment

Hosted web access for rapid triage. Watchlist mode allows teams to monitor specific liabilities across broad series.

APEX Proposals BETA
1. [GSH] Methylate phenol (Risk Medium)
Tactics: Methylate phenol, Carbonate mask (prodrug)

APAP-like cores form NAPQI, which rapidly conjugates with GSH. Masking or reducing phenol lowers NAPQI flux and GSH drain.

2. [QI] Mitigate quinone-imine liability (Risk Medium)
Tactics: Phenol O-Methyl

Reducing phenol or detuning the anilide reduces QI flux and drives intrinsic safety.

Make the triage process actionable.
