Dotmatics Partners with BioByte to Offer ClogP Across the Entire Dotmatics Platform

Users of Vortex, Browser and Dotmatics for Office can now calculate Hydrophobicity using the industry standard ClogP by BioByte

BISHOPS STORTFORD, England and CLAREMONT, California, April 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Dotmatics [http://www.dotmatics.com ], a leading provider of scientific informatics
solutions and services to the life sciences industry, announced a partnership with BioByte
[http://www.biobyte.com ], producer of the industry gold standard partition coefficient
calculator (ClogP).  This deal will enable users of the Dotmatics Platform including
Vortex and Browser to calculate ClogP seamlessly within the applications. This will
streamline the research process and speed up the selection of potential drug candidates.  

    LogP is one of the parameters most intensively used during the drug discovery process
to filter out compounds with low prospects of becoming a drug. It helps to define the
chemical space in which to work. Most discovery programs that are focused on small
molecules rely on predicted LogP.  BioByte's ClogP has been the benchmark calculator in
drug discovery research for the last 35 years.  ClogP is a part of BioByte's Bio-Loom
suite of calculators and is the most extensively tested fragment-based LogP calculator
used in the industry. ClogP uses a rational constructionist approach, incorporating tens
of thousands of carefully curated measured values and interaction factors, all of which
are based on physical chemistry.

    This partnership allows Dotmatics to add ClogP to the substantial list of calculators
already available across the Dotmatics Platform. ClogP will complement the atom-based
XlogP method enabling customers to compare and establish consensus on the value of LogP in
order to determine the profile of compounds more accurately.

    "Integrating ClogP within Vortex and Browser has been one of the top requests from our
customers", said Dr Mike Hartshorn, CSO at Dotmatics. "The partnership with BioByte will
enable us to offer users the ability to access the ClogP calculator without having to
leave their favourite interface. We are committed to offer outstanding quality throughout
the Dotmatics Platform and ClogP by BioByte is a great addition to our suite, matching the
standard of our solutions."

    "The partnership with Dotmatics will enable us to expand the already ubiquitous
presence of ClogP in Pharma and Biotech," said Albert Leo, CEO of BioByte.  "During the
past 35 years, we have invested and continue to invest a large amount of effort enriching
our programs and databases. The partnership guarantees to our users that the calculator
remains the best in the market. We hope that the users of the Dotmatics Platform will
take advantage of the extensive experience ClogP provides within their day to day
research."
