In the traditional research and development process of functional molecules, researchers typically first design molecules based on desired functions, then attempt synthesis and testing, often encounteringDesignable but Difficult to Synthesizelimitations. In the past, although many virtual molecular libraries covered a vast chemical combination space, a large number of molecules were experimentallyLong synthesis cycle, high cost, resulting in a long-standing disconnect between molecular design and experimental validation, which has become a major bottleneck in the molecular discovery process.

DeepSynStarting from chemical feasibility, with click chemistry as the core reaction system, using clean, orthogonal, and high-yield reaction types, and starting from over 16,000 azide compounds and 1,300 alkyne compounds that can be quickly obtained, rapidly constructA chemical space of triazole backbone compounds exceeding 21 million variants that can be rapidly synthesized within one week

On this basis,DP TechnologyAIfor Science Modeling SystemEmpower the discovery of functional molecules. The system achieves this byPhysical Simulation ComputingWithAI Modeling PredictionDeep integration forms a "physics-driven - AI exploration" bidirectional iterative closed loop: physics simulations generate high-quality data to train AI models, and the AI models in turn explore synthesizable chemical space and screen candidate molecules, thereby achieving mapping from chemical space.Synthesizable"To"Discoverable"The Transformation of ".

In the absence of positive reference molecules with the same backbone, the platform achieves this throughAIfor Science Modeling Prediction and Click Chemistry Rapid Synthesis, only useTwo days for computation, five days for synthesis, and seven days for experimental testing., achieving a complete closed-loop from molecular design to experimental validation. Compared to the traditional process, which usually takes about three months, the AI+Click platform significantly shortens the cycle of functional molecule discovery and validation, greatly enhancing the success rate and efficiency of research and development.

Dr. Zheng Xing, Chief Engineer of Biomedical R&D at DP TechnologySaid: "Relying on the reliable synthesis capabilities of click chemistry, we completed a full iteration from computation to experiment within two weeks, providing an unprecedented demonstration space for AI for Science to form a closed loop from computational discovery to real-world validation."

Deep Potential CEO Fang Nuozhou"The combination of the certainty of click chemistry with the exploratory capabilities of AI for Science models allows chemical space to move from 'synthesizable' to 'explorable,' transforming the discovery of functional molecules from blind probing to data-driven precision exploration, which will reshape the way functional molecules are developed."

In the future, the teams from both sides will continue to expand highly reliable reaction systems, increase the coverage of synthesizable chemical space, and integrate more powerful and diverse AI for Science modeling capabilities.Advance the Discovery of Functional Molecules into a Smarter and More Reliable New Phase

AboutDP Technology

DeepSynth Medicinal R&D (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. was established in December 2024. Leveraging the research resources of the Click Chemistry Laboratory and the Translational Medical Academy at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the company focuses on innovative molecular synthesis and application research centered around "click chemistry." The founder, Professor Dong Jiajia, studied under K. Barry Sharpless, a two-time Nobel laureate in Chemistry, whose groundbreaking click chemistry theory forms the technological foundation of the company. DeepSynth possesses an independently patented high-throughput click chemistry synthesis platform, breaking through the limitations of traditional chemical synthesis, which can only produce a small number of molecules daily. This platform enables a single researcher to synthesize thousands to tens of thousands of molecules per day, significantly improving safety and cost efficiency while reducing the cost of single-well synthesis to less than 100 yuan. This technological system not only greatly enhances the efficiency of new drug development and molecular discovery but also expands the boundaries of chemical space, with broad applications in biomedicine, new materials, and green energy. The company is committed to building the world's largest compound library to promote the deep application and widespread adoption of click chemistry in both research and industry.
