Simcyp Discovery is a versatile tool designed to enhance decision-making during the pre-IND and translational stages of drug development. By leveraging physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, this software enables researchers to answer critical “what if” questions without the need for costly and time-consuming clinical studies. Derived from the gold-standard Simcyp PBPK Simulator, Simcyp Discovery accelerates small molecule discovery and development, providing confidence in early-stage decision-making.

Key features of Simcyp Discovery
Simcyp Discovery includes PBPK models for human, mouse, rat, dog, and monkey. It provides a range of model and simulation tools tailored for discovery and translational scientists.
Variety of models included
- Minimal and full PBPK models.
- One-, two-, and three-compartment models.
- First order (FO) and Advanced Dissolution, Absorption, and Metabolism (ADAM) PBPK models.
- Ability to model rat, mouse, monkey, dog, and human in one modeling environment.
DDI calculator
- Quickly flags early DDI risk for enzymes and transporters based on published regulatory guidance.
- Includes basic (cut-off) models, including competitive inhibition, mechanism-based inhibition, induction, transporter inhibition, and mechanistic static interaction models.
Sensitivity analysis
- Perform different sensitivity analyses using the automated sensitivity analysis tool.
- Utilize sensitivity analysis for formulation development to determine what is needed to improve the formulation, such as increasing solubility using a spray-dried dispersion formulation or reducing particle size via micronisation.
Estimate PK parameters
- Estimation of PK parameters from the in vivo data for the reference formulation (i.e. IV, oral solution, etc.).
