Synthetic organic chemists, molecular modelers and X-ray crystallographers fire up your engines. A great target is available, discovered by the humble centipede of all things. Several times during my career as a neurologist, a new drug was ballyhoo’d...

Is it just me, or do all chemists guess the structure of a medicine before they take it? After having a guess, I then Google it and look up the synthesis, where possible.I am currently using Ketoconazole for a skin condition (over-share, sorry). Immediately...

Amygdalin the so-called safe and natural anticancer vitamin B17, is none of those things. It is not a vitamin in any sense of the word. It has no anticancer properties. It is poisonous.The compound, formula C20H27NO11, is a glycoside initially isolated from...

8/27/13. As of today, I have 3 more x-ray treatments culminating in a dose of 63 Gray to the throat. The pain has required narcotics pretty much continuously and the attendant constipative delights that go with that. Pills are difficult to swallow and the gag...

Lately, I’ve been very interested in using my university’s Learning Management System (we use Moodle, others use Blackboard or something else) to administer quizzes to my students, but as an organic chemist, I’ve been hesitant to do so. Primarily...
Here at ChEMBL, we are often contacted by users who are interested in purchasing some of the compounds that we store in our databases. However, our compounds are curated directly from the literature and we do not have access to physical samples. To enable our...
Its a simple and increasingly common question: how can I enable users to search my website by chemical structure? Text search can be done relatively easily, but chemical exact structure and substructure search are considerably more complex. This article offers...
The mcule project was started in last June with very ambitious goals. Several months have passed and you could ask whats happening behind the scenes? And when can I finally start searching/screening/ordering etc. Well, a lot of things happened since last June.Laying...
Developing a molecule database is not a trivial task. There are several problems you have to deal with and they can be handled differently depending on the size, content and purpose of the database. Here I try to provide a list of the most common issues we...
We are pleased to announce that we have updated the ChEMBL RESTful Web Service API (application programming interface) with some more of the features that you the ChEMBL users requested. In particular, we have added support for the: Retrieval of results in...
