Advancing peptides as the next-generation therapeutic modality

Science

Peptides represent an ideal therapeutic modality

A therapeutic modality that combines the best attributes of small molecules and biologics. Our discovery platform is designed to develop peptides with exceptional affinity, specificity, metabolic stability, and optimal PK. We are also leveraging state-of-the-art oral formulation to achieve antibody-like efficacy with a pill.

PLATFORM

PinPoint powered by PinSilico – physics and AI-enabled discovery

At the core of our discovery engine is PinPoint - a peptide-specific medicinal chemistry approach designed to engineer drug-like properties into validated hits. PinPoint combines structural biology with bespoke non-canonical amino acid design to identify and exploit promising receptor interactions to transform a hit peptide into a candidate.

PinPoint is powered by PinSilico - a breakthrough suite of structure-based drug design (SBDD) technologies that integrates physics-based simulations, emerging AI methodologies, and scalable computational infrastructure. PinSilico allows rapid hit diversification and lead optimization for tuning affinity and phys-chem properties. PinSilico includes PinFormatics and PinScale as a foundation on which we have built PinFinity and PinNovo workflows with more on the way.

PinNovo

De novo peptide design

PinNovo combines AI models for structure prediction, physics-based simulations and automated non-canonical amino acid design to generate diverse site-specific cyclic peptide binders with activity profile comparable with in vitro affinity based screening.

PinFinity

Binding optimization & structure refinement

PinFinity focuses on enhancing target engagement through iterative structure-guided optimization. Using simulation-driven feedback loops, it refines binding affinity, conformational stability, and interaction specificity.

PinFormatics

Cheminformatics and data intelligence tailored to peptides

PinFormatics marries custom cheminformatics with experimental and computational data streams, enabling seamless SAR analysis across sequence and chemical structure space, generating insights from historical data and accelerating design.

PinScale

Computational scale & workflow automation

PinScale is the high-performance distributed computing backbone of the whole platform. Through automated workflows built on scalable compute infrastructure, it accelerates DMTA cycles and the number of targets with SBDD-enabled series.
