Who is CAS BioFinder for?
CAS BioFinder has features, capabilities, and data for everyone involved in the drug discovery workflow. This includes biologists, medicinal chemists, pharmacologists, immunologists, and toxicologists.
Does CAS BioFinder rely on my data?
No, CAS BioFinder relies on the human-curated data in the CAS Content Collection. You may choose to securely upload your own molecules for predictive safety screening, and neither CAS nor any other users have access to this information.
How do I purchase CAS BioFinder?
Contact us, and a representative will reach out to discuss your needs, offer a free trial, and provide a pricing model that works for your organization.
What is the difference between CAS BioFinder and CAS SciFinder?
Chemists worldwide have long relied on the trusted data and capabilities in CAS SciFinder to advance their work. We built CAS BioFinder specifically to focus on the needs of drug discovery teams, including medicinal chemists, biologists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, immunologists, and more.
The drug-discovery-specific capabilities in CAS BioFinder, such as matched molecular pairs analysis and biological pathway visualizations, are powered not only by the small-molecule chemistry data CAS is known for, but also by deeply connected biological and large-molecule data needed for drug discovery.
How does CAS BioFinder use AI?
AI features are optional in CAS BioFinder. AI-powered summaries provide brief insights from large data tables and charts.
Predictive analytics use several AI-driven data models to flag potential safety risks in known or novel molecules, complete with detailed substantiation for each model so you know exactly how the data was analyzed.
The CAS Newton agentic AI experience allows you to ask natural language scientific questions and receive fully referenced answers based on CAS BioFinder data and capabilities.
