C4X Discovery Holdings PLC bags a billion molecules (virtually)

Published: 15:27 12 Jul 2016 BST

Drug discovery and development company C4X Discovery Holdings plc has bought a suite of advanced drug discovery technologies from the administrator that should prove highly complementary to the company’s existing know-how.
The company has acquired “a virtual library of over a billion molecules”, which should give the company a boost when it starts new discovery programmes.
According to Dr Clive Dix, the chief executive officer of C4X, the newly acquired software is “all about optimising those molecules that we find by using our other technologies”.
Dr Dix told Proactive Investors: “Everything we do is aimed at reducing the time and the cost of getting to the clinical trial and then … with the molecules we have being of higher quality, they’ll be more likely to be successful in the trials.”
The company will be starting new projects on a regular basis and when the time is right will decide on a case-by-case basis whether to bring in a partner or take the drugs to clinical trial independently.
