Registering compounds with MDL® Isentris®
Until recently, Intervet chemists pursuing new drug candidates for the animal health market faced a barrier when incorporating techniques such as parallel synthesis or combinatorial chemistry: the company's registration system simply wasn't designed to handle compound libraries.
"We needed a system for user-friendly registration of compound libraries, including field mapping for SD- and data-files," said Werner Schlueter, scientific information manager for Intervet.
Elsevier MDL Senior Consultant, Dr. Richard Schall, led the development of Intervet's new CoRe (Compound Registration) system).
"Working with Intervet, we've created a registration system built on state-of-the-art technology," said Schall. "The system has a modern front end and the library loading and manipulation functionality that Intervet researchers really needed."
Intervet's Schlueter is optimistic about the effect of the new system on research workflows. "With the growing importance of methods like parallel synthesis and combichem, the processing of corresponding data becomes more and more important. The new system will remove a bottleneck and speed up our lead optimization."
