, Calif. -- Elsevier MDL Elsevier MDL is a subsidiary of Elsevier. It develops programs that aid in "discovery informatics", or the use of computers modeling of scientific information in ways that lead to new discoveries.

The company was founded as Molecular Design Limited in 1978.
 has unveiled a significant upgrade to the MDL MDL - (Originally "Muddle"). C. Reeve, Carl Hewitt and Gerald Sussman, Dynamic Modeling Group, MIT ca. 1971. Intended as a successor to Lisp, and a possible base for Planner-70. Basically LISP 1.5 with data types and arrays. ([R]) Isentris([R]) system for integrating information and software applications into scientists' workflows. MDL Isentris 2.0 features hundreds of new capabilities and demonstrable and meaningful performance improvements that give pharmaceutical, biotech and life sciences organizations unequaled ability to improve R&D productivity through better data management, lowered cost of ownership, faster workflow processes and easier information access and reporting.

"MDL Isentris 2.0 offers features, performance and potential well beyond MDL([R]) ISIS, the industry standard for the past 15 years," said Lars Barfod, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Elsevier MDL.

"Unique new features such as a visual reaction planner offer scientists better day-to-day workflow support. Dramatic performance improvements strengthen the value of Isentris from small to global multi-site R&D labs. And standardized development tools make it easy for organizations to customize systems to meet their needs. More and more of our major customers are migrating to Isentris to capitalize on Cap´i`tal`ize on`

 these advantages."

MDL software is used at virtually every major pharmaceutical company, and at biotechnology, chemical and research institutions around the world. Following recent evaluations of Isentris 2.0, several more leading companies have purchased the new-generation system, bringing the number of top 30 Elsevier MDL customers that have adopted Isentris to 15.

, commented: "Isentris 2.0 looks very promising. I was really impressed with how user-friendly it was and especially with the reaction planning functionality. The ability to explore precursor reaction steps and quickly build reaction plans looks very useful and could save us a lot of time during our synthesis preparation."

The Isentris 2.0 release features proven performance on databases of over 5 million reactions and 20 million structures. Reaction fast search gives substantial performance improvements over previous cartridge-based search engines, up to 100 times faster in some cases. Isentris now offers up to 15 times faster browsing over wide area networks than ISIS, and allows scientists to load scientific data into Microsoft Excel as much as six times faster, and copy, paste and sort the data twice as fast. Isentris can support hundreds of simultaneous users on a single mid-sized server.

Isentris lets scientists search multiple databases with a single query, save and reuse sophisticated searches and create personal data views without IT assistance. Scientists can find information faster, explore structure-activity relationships, collaborate, pursue hypotheses and gain insight for informed, intelligent decisions.

For organizations, Isentris is designed to handle the massive loads, diverse data types and pressure of global R&D networks, while offering higher ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot).  and lower IT costs. Pre-built development components in Isentris enable IT groups to rapidly create custom scientific applications using Microsoft .NET technology. IT groups can reduce support workloads by providing scientists with self-service data access and consistent, easy to learn applications. And integrated access to internal proprietary and commercial data sources offers significant workflow and efficiencies.
