LONDON, United Kingdom, August 6, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Patsnap, a global leader in AI-native innovation intelligence for IP and R&D, and Evolvus, a leading life sciences data specialist, today announced a strategic data partnership expanding Patsnap Bio's coverage of ADCs, peptides, protein degraders, and chemically modified nucleotide sequences. As antisense oligonucleotides, RNA therapeutics, peptides, and ADCs advance through development, the chemical complexity of these molecules has outpaced the data available to evaluate them. R&D teams require knowing not just that a sequence exists, but where modifications occur, how they affect bioactivity, and what the surrounding patent landscape looks like. IP teams require the same context to assess freedom to operate comprehensively.

Under the partnership, Evolvus will provide highly curated datasets through its “ConnectorBase” platform, covering chemically modified nucleotide sequences enriched with precise modification locations, linker details, patent family associations, and structured bioactivity data including assay results, experimental models, biological targets, molecular mechanisms, and documented biological effects. Patsnap will integrate these datasets with its proprietary AI-driven sequence extraction across global patent and scientific literature, extending Patsnap Bio’s capabilities beyond traditional FTO analysis into drug discovery and competitive intelligence research. 

Four AI ready bioactivity datasets will be included, structured for machine learning and in silico drug discovery workflows:

  • ADCs: Captures antibodies, linkers, and payloads as separate moieties with individual bioactivities totalling more than 1 million datapoints, giving teams the granularity needed to evaluate conjugate design decisions at the component level.
  • Oligonucleotides: Covers more than 400,000 siRNAs and ASOs with conjugated fatty acids, GalNAc, and peptide conjugates, enabling modification-aware search across sequence and structure simultaneously.
  • Peptides: Describes modified and unmodified peptides in ML-ready format, supporting both sequence-based and structure-based discovery workflows.
  • Proximers: With more than 3 million datapoints maps proximity induced degraders, heterobicyclic compounds and molecular glues with warheads, linkers, and E3 ligase ligands as discrete moieties, reflecting how these molecules actually function mechanistically.

“The teams doing the most sophisticated biologics work today are making sequence modification decisions with fragmented data," said Haydn Evans, Senior Director of Strategy at Patsnap. "This partnership gives them the full picture — scientific context, bioactivity data, and IP landscape — in one place, so those decisions move faster and land on firmer ground."

“Evolvus employs expert curation to describe chemical compositions of modalities and the detailed biological context of their activity, which is key to understanding how drugs function,” said James Longden, Senior Director at Evolvus. “We are excited to partner with Patsnap to integrate our data with their platform to give researchers deeper insights into the relationships between modalities, targets and disease.”
