    CAS: providing access to more than 110 years of natural products research
    Dr. Elaine N. Cheeseman, Senior Searcher, CAS, Columbus, Ohio
    …For over 110 years, CAS has been providing access to research on chemistry and surrounding areas, including natural products, from patents, non-patents, and other document types. CAS’ intellectual indexing includes concepts, exemplified compounds, Markush structures, and reactions to enable the retrieval of information relating to natural products research. The sources can be searched in a variety of ways depending on the type of information which is required. This information is accessible on both STNext and SciFinder-n. A new CAS visualization tool, ChemScape, will be shown using a natural products example.

    Collecting and standardizing natural products: The COCONUT project
    Maria Sorokina, Christoph Steinbeck, Friedrich-Schiller-Universitat Jena (Germany)
    … To facilitate in silico NP studies, we assembled the COllection of Open Natural Products (COCONUT) from more than 55 open resources and it is currently the biggest repository for validated and predicted NP. A multitude of molecular features is precalculated for the NPs in COCONUT, facilitating compound search and selection on physicochemical and structural properties.
    The COCONUT database web interface allows for diverse simple searches (e.g. by molecule name, InChI, InChI key, SMILES, molecular formula, predicted bioactivity), advanced search by molecular features, but also chemical searches based on structure similarity and substructure. COCONUT: https://coconut.naturalproducts.net.

    NP navigator: A new look at the natural product chemical space
    Yuliana Zabolotna (University of Strasbourg, France),  Dr. Peter Ertl (Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, Basel, Switzerland ); Dragos Horvath,  Fanny Bonachera,  Gilles Marcou & Alexandre Varnek (University of Strasbourg, France)
    … we present NP Navigator – a free, intuitive online tool for visualization and navigation through the NPs chemical space. It is based on the hierarchical ensemble of more than 200 generative topographic maps (GTM), featuring NPs from the COCONUT [see above], bioactive compounds from ChEMBL and commercially available molecules from ZINC. …. Hierarchical extension of GTM, combined with maximum common substructure (MCS) detection, allows to establish the link between the generalized visualization of the known chemical space of NPs/NP-like molecules and structural features of small compound clusters….NP Navigator allows to efficiently analyze …. commercial availability of NPs… and their close analogs  (pseudo-NPs). Users could project several external molecules (“chemical trackers” ) allowing to trace particular chemotypes in the NPs chemical space and detect analogs of the compound of interest. https://infochm.chimie.unistra.fr/npnav/chematlas_userspace

    Is your structure sound? Testing the limits of the structural obviousness framework
    Dr. Kimberlynn B. Davis, J.D., Ph.D., Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP
    To determine whether structurally “close” compounds are obvious for patentability purposes, the Federal Circuit established a framework that has been consistently applied since its inception, often with favorable results for the patentee in Hatch-Waxman litigations. Patent applicants are also able to utilize this framework to establish the patentability of novel compounds, though examiners continue to refute the applicability of the framework by pointing to older standards. This presentation will provide an overview of the framework and its application in key cases…

    Is the BPCIA the new ANDA?
    Shannon Patrick, Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett and Dunner LLP, Washington, DC
    ANDA litigation has become almost a more specialized subset of patent law that focuses on the filings of new drug applications and the statutorily infringing abbreviated new drug applications. Recently, Congress has enacted the BPCIA which creates a similar scheme to the laws regulating ANDA litigations for biological products. This presentation will discuss this new abbreviated pathway for biosimilars and try to elaborate on the steps to the BPCIA patent dance.

    Semantic and chemistry structure search on 250 million scientific documents
    Lutz Weber
    , OntoChem, Halle (Saale), Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany
    In the current presentation we will demonstrate semantic and chemistry structure search in more than 110 million scientific articles and 130 million patents. Based on our context sensitive named entity recognition, we also extract specific relationships between those indexed entities - such as chemical reactions or biological activities of chemical compounds. These relationships are stored and searched using a novel, patented database technology - xfactDB - that allows to efficiently store complex and structured scientific data.
    Examples
     provided: which natural products from edible plants support the treatment of diabetes ; which non-lactame natural product compound classes are likely to exhibit anti-infective properties; what is the likelihood of a succesful clinical development of a given chemical compound ?

    IUPAC Apocalypse: How changing standards can make chemical nomenclature knowledge and software obsolete
    Roger Sayle
    , NextMove Software Ltd, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK
    The latest 2013 revision of IUPAC's "blue book" includes one obscure recommendation rule  (sec. P-52.2.5.1, [which] requires the use of Phane Nomenclature for organic molecules for which it is (sufficiently) applicable, …including names of many drug-like molecules. For example, WHO INN for  Danuglipron is (now) officially named (12S)-94-cyano-92-fluoro-7-oxa-3(1,2)-benzimidazola-6(2,6)-pyridina-5(1,4)-piperidina-1(2)-oxetana-9(1)-benzenanonaphane-36-carboxylic acid.

    Extracting chemical reaction information from patent documents
     
    Lutz Weber, Matthias Irmer; Shadrack Barnabas; Claudia Bobach; Christoph Ruttkies, OntoChem (Germany)
    The BQ SciWalker Open Data project [1] maintains BQ chemistry-related tables of (>4 million chemical reactions that are updated daily from mentions found in the text or images of patents. In the present talk we present our efforts to extract reaction SMILES, RInChIs, and RInChI-Keys as well as unique public Ontology Concept IDentifiers, OCIDs [2] for each unique chemical reaction. Extracted reactions are classified into their respective reaction ontology classes using compregensive SMIRKS representations of reaction transforms like SMARTS in case of compounds [3]. A particular challenge of such reaction classification is a correct mapping of the atoms in reacting centers. We have compared the precision of several methods for such atom mappings.

    RInChI: Collecting and integrating more reaction data
    Prof.  Jonathan M Goodman, University of Cambridge (UK); Gerd Blanke, StructurePendium Technoligies GmbH, Germany
    In this talk we will report the results of an investigation into how effectively the RInChI [The Reaction InChI] is able to link different reports of the same reaction and distinguish similar but different reactions. We will also discuss how it is possible to gather more data for databases and what additional information could usefully be associated with the standard RInChI. Finally, we will discuss how developments in the InChI itself (stereochemistry, organometallics and variable structures) might strengthen the RInChI's ability to identify reactions.

    Deep learning prediction of reaction conditions
    Matthew Clark1, Eric Gilbert1; Frederik van den Broek2
    (1)Elsevier Inc Philadelphia, PA; (2) Elsevier BV, Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands
    … The Reaxys database has reactions and conditions reported for over 20 million organic reactions reported over the last 200 years. In many cases the same reaction has been reported using diverse conditions by many different authors. We have used these diverse conditions to train a neural-network that predicts the reagents, catalysts, solvents, time, temperature to carry out any proposed reaction, as well as yield for the products. We will present our results and share our experience from building these models.
