SAN DIEGO, April 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Accelrys,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ACCL), a leading provider of scientific innovation
lifecycle management software and solutions, today announced the
latest releases of Accelrys Insight and Accelrys Insight for
Excel. The new release of Accelrys Insight for Excel
enhances scientific data analysis with important new capabilities
including the ability to run database searches directly from the
familiar Microsoft Excel spreadsheet environment. The new release
of the web-based Accelrys Insight life science, discovery and
innovation support environment speeds decisions by simplifying
access to complex hierarchical data and implementing data-rich
tooltips for scatterplots. The two releases continue the rapid
evolution of Accelrys' next-generation solution for interactively
searching, browsing and visualizing data within the Accelrys
Cheminformatics Suite, helping networked life science discovery
teams bring innovative therapeutics to market faster and more cost
effectively. Both products leverage the open, scientifically aware
Accelrys Enterprise Platform which provides a single consistent way
for applications to access both internal data and public data
accessible via web services.

"Today's information-driven life science research requires a
modern approach to knowledge management that lets scientists make
fast, informed decisions about how to move projects forward," said
Leif E. Pedersen, senior vice
president of marketing, product management and corporate
development, Accelrys. "The latest releases of Accelrys Insight
for Excel and Accelrys Insight are important steps in the
evolution of an improved, end-to-end scientific decision support
environment driving improved collaboration, innovation and
productivity in life science discovery."
The latest release of Accelrys Insight for Excel
accelerates data analysis with the ability to run database searches
from a Microsoft Excel workbook. Medicinal chemists can access rich
and diverse corporate and public data sources directly from Excel
spreadsheets and import refined search results back into the
spreadsheets without leaving the familiar Excel environment.
Scientists engaged in pharmacokinetics research can now calculate
absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity
(ADMET) chemistry properties for chemical structures loaded into an
Excel spreadsheet. The new calculators for blood brain barrier
penetration, human intestinal absorption, aqueous solubility,
plasma protein binding and hepatotoxicity provide more information
to make decisions about the appropriateness of compounds. Finally,
new chemical-name-from-structure and structure-from-chemical-name
calculators make it easier for scientists to connect associated
data items.
The latest release of Accelrys Insight speeds informed decisions
by providing scalable access to complex hierarchical data and
improved support for data analysis and visualization. These
capabilities are provided through a set of new and enhanced
Accelrys Pipeline Pilot components that protocol authors can use to
simplify the processes used by end-user scientists to access, chart
and perform calculations on hierarchical data. The Accelrys
Pipeline Pilot protocol authoring application enables developers to
tailor scientific calculations, visualizations, exports and reports
targeted to specific needs and expertise within the Accelrys
Insight environment. The latest release of Accelrys Insight also
enables the creation of data-rich tooltips that automatically
display chemical properties and structures in X-Y scatterplots if
molecular data are loaded in Accelrys Insight, providing ready
access to rich data objects.
Accelrys Insight for Excel is the next generation
of Accelrys' scientific Excel add-ins within the legacy ISIS,
Isentris and Accord product suites. Accelrys Insight is the
next-generation solution for current Accelrys ISIS, Accelrys
Isentris and Accelrys Accord applications for searching, browsing
and visualizing data.
