Odyssey

The journey begins with Makya's AI-driven design, continues with Spaya's efficient retrosynthesis, and advances through Iktos Robotics for synthesis, purification, analysis, and testing. This integrated approach shortens the discovery phase to under 2 years.

Innovative molecular Design

Generative AI
Makya

Makya, our generative AI SaaS platform, starts the molecular journey by creating diverse, novel, and medchem-like molecules. With its unique chemistry driven approach, it ensures each molecule is synthetically accessible and optimized for success.

Key Features

  • Generative AI technology for de novo drug design
  • Focus on synthetic accessibility
  • Multi-parametric optimization
  • Inclusion of 3D constraints

Efficient Synthesis Planning

Retrosynthesis AI
Spaya

The next step in the journey involves Spaya, our AI-driven retrosynthesis platform. Spaya quickly identifies the most feasible synthetic routes, converting target compounds into commercially available starting materials. This data-driven approach ensures the synthesis process is optimized, tailored to your needs, and compatible with our robotic systems.

Key Features

  • Real-time display of retrosynthetic routes
  • Customizable synthesis steps and constraints
  • Integration with various data providers

Comprehensive Automation

Autonomous Lab
Iktos Robotics Chemistry

Iktos' generative AI, Makya, designs molecules optimized for robotic synthesis. Our AI-driven autonomous Lab manages the complete synthetic process, from workflow management and ordering raw materials to executing chemical synthesis. This evolving AI-driven DMTA (Design-Make-Test-Analysis) process significantly reduces the time to identify viable drug candidates.

Key Features

  • Fully automated synthesis and analysis
  • High-throughput data generation and iteration
  • Ongoing Integration: Purification

Multidimensional biological data

In-cellulo screening
Iktos Robotics Biology

Iktos' generative AI, Makya, is guided with multidimensional biological data generated from our high-throughput imaging platform. It identifies small-molecule modulators of protein activity, protein-protein and RNA-protein interactions, captured in biologically relevant environments. This enables the continuous optimization of molecular properties, ensuring that each cycle brings us closer to the ideal drug candidate - even for the most challenging targets.

Key use cases

  • Protein-Protein interactions
  • RNA-Protein interactions
  • Protein-Protein Self-Assembly
  • Molecular glues and PROTACs
