Critical Outcome Technologies Inc (COTI) is a biotechnology company
based in London, Ontario, Canada. COTI provides the latest in the
development of clinical prediction models and molecular screening
processes. using hybrid artificial intelligence software systems.
In the area of molecular screening processes, COTI has developed
a proprietary process (CHEMSASTM)
based upon a hybrid of artificial intelligence software programs that
allows more accurate prediction of biological activity from the structure
of the small molecule. The CHEMSASTM
system is based upon decomposing complex molecular structures into
critical elements that can be used to model specific in vitro or in
vivo biological activities. This involves training the prediction
model with information about molecules with known function and comparing
the molecule with unknown function to the established database to
determine its function.
The company has well developed prediction models for HIV and cancer
with additional models for anti-hypertensive, anti-diabetes and anti-arrhythmic
drug and antibiotics. Other models are in development for drugs for
asthma, hyperlipidemia and for large molecules such as proteins and
peptides.
