NeuPharma workflow overview

Applied workflow

NeuPharma

NeuPharma is the molecule-to-circuit workflow layer built on top of oNeura. Its job is to turn a physics-native neural simulation stack into a usable neuropharmacology and drug-discovery workflow for compound screening, mechanistic hypothesis generation, and assay-specific studies.

The core idea is simple: keep the chemistry, pharmacology, neural state, and behavioral readout inside one coherent system instead of stitching together disconnected tools and spreadsheets.

Workflow

How NeuPharma connects molecules to assay outcomes

1

Molecule ingestion

Start from explicit molecules, curated structures, or SMILES input rather than abstract feature vectors.

2

Binding + calibration

Use docking, MM-GBSA rescoring, and occupancy-oriented calibration to estimate the plausible pharmacology path.

3

Neural perturbation

Translate receptor or conductance effects into changes in neural state, transmitter dynamics, or circuit excitability.

4

Circuit and assay readout

Measure the impact in closed-loop neural tasks, organism-style assays, and benchmarked behavioral surfaces.

5

Screening output

Prioritize compounds, generate mechanistic hypotheses, and package study outputs around the strongest validated workflows.

Current public surface

The local stack already contains explicit molecule construction, SMILES parsing, docking, MM-GBSA rescoring, ADMET support, and Rust-native molecular dynamics components. Public demos currently show the neural and assay side most clearly, while the molecule interface is being exposed more selectively.

What NeuPharma adds

NeuPharma organizes those chemistry and pharmacology primitives into a workflow: ingest compounds, estimate target engagement, map occupancy or conductance effects into neural simulations, and produce screening or prioritization outputs that connect chemistry to assay behavior.

Current scope

NeuPharma is focused on neuropharmacology and CNS-oriented simulation workflows. It is a mechanistic bridge from compounds to simulated neural and assay readouts, not a universal ground-truth model of all biology.

Why now

Why this workflow matters

  • CNS and neuropharmacology workflows still fracture across chemistry tools, PK/PD assumptions, neural simulators, and behavioral interpretation.
  • GPU-capable simulation infrastructure is now strong enough to support a tighter molecule-to-circuit loop.
  • Purely statistical AI approaches remain hard to trust when teams need mechanistic reasoning about drug effects.
  • oNeura already provides the scientific substrate needed to make a tighter end-to-end workflow usable.

Workflow outputs

What the workflow can produce

  • Compound triage and prioritization for neuroactive molecules
  • Mechanistic hypothesis generation before wet-lab follow-up
  • Target- or disease-specific simulation studies
  • Research-facing benchmark packages for assay calibration and reproducibility

Current public baseline

What is already demonstrated

oNeura already shows live Hodgkin-Huxley dynamics in the browser, measured Pong benchmarks, and fly-brain-scale assays on the Rust + CUDA runtime. NeuPharma extends that same stack upstream into compound definition, target scoring, and pharmacology-aware simulation workflows.

The key boundary on the public site is visibility, not a separate engine: the neural and assay surfaces are exposed more fully today than the molecule interface, and this page keeps the workflow tied to the measured parts of the stack.

Near-term use is compound triage, mechanistic hypothesis generation, and study-specific assay work where chemistry, pharmacology, and circuit effects need to be traced inside one system.
