## CSD-CrossMiner: a versatile pharmacophore query tool for successful modern drug discovery

  

Structural data is essential to modern drug discovery, but extracting actionable insights at scale can be challenging. **CSD-CrossMiner** helps researchers accelerate lead discovery by using pharmacophore-based screening to uncover new therapeutic opportunities across protein targets, drug candidates, and their interactions.

By mining world-leading databases such as the **Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)**, the **Protein Data Bank (PDB)**, and proprietary datasets, CSD-CrossMiner enables rapid identification of key chemical features and relationships that can drive smarter drug design.

### Download this free white paper to learn how CSD-CrossMiner can help you:

- Discover new lead compounds through scaffold hopping and identify novel APIs for established targets.
- Find alternative fragments, bioisosteres, and similar binding pockets to expand your chemical space.
- Improve candidate selection by assessing cross-pharmacology, potential toxicity risks, and pharmaceutical viability.
