The present invention relates to a method for identifying a molecular pharmacophore, generally comprising the following steps: inputting descriptors of chemical compounds, and assigning effects or results (Rp) of each descriptor. Each descriptor comprises a number of variables (V1, V2, . . . , Vn). Both binary and ternary variations of the variables are determined, and the binary variations are assigned to an active entity of a putative pharmacophore. Variable pair candidates from the ternary variations are determined for assignment to a common active entity, the common active entity having two or more variables, and further determining a set of variables for each variable pair candidate which contains such variables, which, when the variable pair candidate is assigned to the common active entity, have to be assigned to an active entity other than the common active entity. Conflict-free clusters of sets of variables are used to identify one or more common active entities.
