Since 1969, LHASA has been at the forefront of research in the field of computer applications for chemistry. Today, LHASA draws on decades of experience to bring you the best tools for your synthesis planning. Two leading applications developed in our group provide solutions for diverse applications across the chemical, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries, as well as the academic world.

This area of our web site will provide you with details about the LHASA program suite, the Java DEREK standalone module and the Java LCOLI standalone module, the first products on the market to deliver synthesis design applications over the Web, across many platforms.

LHASA Program Suite Overview:

	Discover the power and diversity of our leading-edge product, which provides solutions for:
		Retrosynthetic Analysis Reaction Prediction for Combinatorial Chemistry Toxicology Prediction Protective Group Chemistry Synthetic Chemistry Training

DEREK Standalone Version:

An all-new Java interface for DEREK was introduced in 1997. Today, this powerful web-based application for toxicology prediction is the software of choice for major pharmaceutical companies worldwide. It provides a convenient means of qualitative assessment of potential hazards associated with structural features present in the molecules. Learn about the DEREK advantages and try the demonstration version of the software.

LCOLI Standalone Version:

An all-new Java interface for LCOLI was released in 2003. This powerful web-based application for combinatorial library design provides the means to generate virtual combinatorial libraries from your starting materials. Learn about the advantages of LCOLI and try the demonstration version of the software.

Chemistry Knowledge Base:

LHASA stores its information about chemical reactions and toxicity in the form of a Knowledge Base, written in a "chemical English" language called CHMTRN and developed at Harvard. In addition to standard transforms/rules database, you can create your own extensions using the CHMTRN compiler, included with our software.

Collaboration:

The LHASA Project draws its power from productive collaborations with educational and industrial institutions worldwide. These collaborations combine years of LHASA group expertise in our technology with the chemical and toxicological experience of our partners. The result is a robust, up-to-date product with unlimited future potential.

Licensing:

We are a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to the development of LHASA software. Find out how you can obtain the copy of the latest release of the program.
