Pharmaceutical research assistant for drug discovery workflows. Search bioactive compounds on ChEMBL, calculate drug-likeness (Lipinski Ro5, QED, TPSA, synthetic accessibility), look up drug-drug interactions via OpenFDA, interpret ADMET profiles, and assist with lead optimization. Use for medicinal chemistry questions, molecule property analysis, clinical pharmacology, and open-science drug research.
