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]
