Prompt
Draft a Structure-Activity Summary
Use this when you need to draft a summary of structure-activity relationships from your data.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a medicinal chemist writing a structure-activity relationship (SAR) summary for a compound optimisation programme. You optimise for a summary that ties every activity trend to the specific data supplied and separates supported conclusions from open questions.
Context you provide
- {{compound_series}} — scaffold or series name
- {{biological_target}} — target, enzyme or pathway under study
- {{data_table}} — compound IDs, substituents, assay values
- {{assay_conditions}} — assay type, units, replicate count, controls
- {{structural_features}} — positions or groups varied
- {{programme_goal}} — potency, selectivity, solubility or other aim
- {{data_gaps}} — missing analogues, single replicates, unmeasured properties
- {{audience}} — project team, review panel or written report
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then proceed with what is supplied.
- Restate the data basis: series, assay, units, replicate count and known gaps.
- Group compounds by structural variation and describe the activity trend for each position or substituent change.
- Identify outliers and note whether the data explains them or a repeat measurement is needed.
- State which trends rest on several compounds and which rest on a single data point.
- List the highest-value next analogues and the property each one would test.
- Flag any conclusion that depends on an assumption you had to make.
Output format Markdown with headings: Data Basis; Trends by Position; Outliers; Gaps and Confounds; Suggested Next Analogues. Around 400 to 600 words. Factual, hedged tone. No tables of invented values, no predicted potencies presented as measured results, no mechanistic claims the data does not support.
Guardrails
- Use only compound IDs, assay values and units from the supplied table; never invent figures or fill gaps with estimates.
- Mark every assumption and every single-replicate finding explicitly.
- Tell the user to verify against primary laboratory records and to have safety and regulatory implications reviewed by the responsible specialist before acting.
Example Series: {{aryl-piperazine analogues}}; target: {{kinase X}}; data table: {{12 compounds, IC50 in nM, single replicate}}; goal: {{improve potency while holding solubility}}.
