SYNTHIA® Retrosynthesis Software

Discovery at Your Fingertips

Expert-coded by chemists and engineered by computer scientists, SYNTHIA® allows scientists to quickly discover novel pathways for new and published target molecules.

Developed over a 21-year period, this SaaS based software platform develops synthetic routes using expert-coded rules based on proven chemical transformations. With a catalog of over 12 million commercially available starting materials and building blocks, SYNTHIA® provides access to a broad portfolio of available chemistry.

SYNTHIA® Lab

Imagine a world where every lab, regardless of size or budget, can access the same advanced retrosynthesis technology trusted by leading scientists. With the launch of SYNTHIA® Lab, that world is closer than ever.

SYNTHIA® Lab brings the power of computer-assisted retrosynthetic planning to academic groups and non-profit research teams, making it easier than ever to explore new synthetic pathways, accelerate discovery, and inspire innovation. SYNTHIA® Lab helps you design robust, creative routes for both new and published molecules—no matter your lab’s size.

Quickly Go From Imagining What’s Possible to Testing What’s Probable​

With this bench-validated retrosynthetic planning software, successfully design and plan routes for target molecules based on your requirements. ​

  • Select the type of retrosynthesis analysis to be performed and the target molecule from known and unknown compounds. ​
  • Customize search parameters: set a price threshold, protecting group preferences, scoring functions, stop conditions, and many more options. ​
  • Directly link to commercially available and known starting materials with price information and/or incorporate your custom inventory (patent pending). ​
  • Easily filter, sort, compare, and analyze custom pathways by viewing detailed molecule structures or graphs to explore the most cost-effective routes to chemical targets.
