Molecular Architecture to Prepare Structures with Desired Properties: The Integration of Databases and Software into the Day-to-Day Practice of a Medicinal Chemist
Ulrich Jordis, Vienna University of Technology
The talk will give examples of the planning of the synthesis of new bioactive compounds, typically targeted for their expected pharmacological properties. This requires first of all the assessment of the novelty which is performed by a combination of the use of Chemical Abstracts (via SciFinder) and Beilstein (via Beilstein Commander). Marpat is used to identify claims of patents that might cover virtual compounds. Reactions are planned using Chemical Abstracts as well as various dedicated ISIS reaction databases and DiscoveryGate. The availability of starting materials and reference or test compounds must be known and all the data gathered are stored in local structure and reaction databases. Emphasis will be given to resources available freely on the web. At the end of the day a wealth of data is stored in proprietary databases including electronic notebooks.
