Jeffrey A Hoover

US Patent:

59501928, Sep 7, 1999

Filed:

Jun 26, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/883165

Inventors:

Jeffrey Moore - Timonimun MD
Joanne Brazil - White Hall MD
Jeffrey R. Hoover - Baltimore MD

Assignee:

Oxford Molecular Group, Inc. - Towson MD

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707 3

Abstract:

A chemical structure search system and method are disclosed which expand the capabilities of existing systems by capitalizing on the strengths of relational database technology. The system allows the user to optimally store and search chemical structure information including information relating to multi-valued atoms, multi-typed bonds, Markush searching and various other options in a relational database management system. The system provides a complete chemical information system which includes capabilities for: (1) exact structure searching; (2) substructure searching; (3) key searching; (4) chemical name searching; (5) molecular formula searching; (6) registration of new molecules; (7) structure import/export; and (8) data editing. Additionally, the chemical structure search system allows the routine integration of chemical structure data with other related information such as inventory, spectroscopic data and clinical data via standard relational database methods. The system also has dynamic querying capabilities which allow the user to be notified of any new chemicals that are entered into the database that are responsive to previously run queries.
