Inte:Ligand was founded in Maria Enzersdorf, Lower Austria (Niederösterreich) in 2003.[1] They established the company headquarters on Mariahilferstrasse in Vienna, Austria that same year.

In 2007 Inte:Ligand was the recipient of the NÖ Innovation prize (Innovationpreis) for the development of the simulation software LigandScout.[2] [3] [4] [5] As of 2017 there were more than 1500 literature, book chapters and review articles published related to InteLigand software technology in the areas of virtual screening,[6] [7] [8] 3D-pharmacophore modeling,[9] [10] [11] [12] hit identification,[13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] medicinal chemistry decision support,[19] [20] [21] activity profiling,[22] docking, fragment-based compound design,[23] protein-protein-interactions,[24] drug-repurposing[25] and molecular dynamics simulations.[26] [27] [28]

Other applications include the discovery of new Myeloperoxidase ligands,[29] HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitors,[30] applications in anti-viral bio-activity profiling,[31] the development of models to predict HIV Protease activity,[32] Cytochrome P450 activity prediction,[33] and simulation models for the activity on Factor Xa.[34]
