MDL, Derwent, and ISI Agree to Provide Integrated Discovery Knowledge Through DiscoveryGate.Business Editors/Health & Medical WritersBOSTON--(BW HealthWire)--Aug. 19, 2002 Agreement Gives Researchers Easy Access to Integrated Patent and Chemical Information from World's Leading Authorities 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. Information Systems, Inc. (MDL(R)), Derwent Information, and ISI ISI International Sensitivity Index, see there (R) announced that they are collaborating to index chemical structures in selected Derwent and ISI patent and chemical information databases into DiscoveryGate(SM) -- MDL's Web-based service that integrates, indexes, and links the essential content sources required for effective drug discovery. The first phase of this new, expanded scientific information resource will be available to researchers during 2002. "This critical link between DiscoveryGate and selected Derwent and ISI databases will streamline scientific inquiry and accelerate the discovery process," said MDL 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. Pat Rougeau. "Customer feedback indicated that access to current patent information is crucial to researchers. This important collaboration makes DiscoveryGate the complete knowledge navigation solution for chemistry and life science researchers around the world -- and the first place to go for the answers to discovery questions." Indexing and linking Derwent and ISI databases in DiscoveryGate means that researchers can perform single-query searches within DiscoveryGate to explore published information on particular compounds, including available patent listings, and then link to Derwent Discovery(TM) or to Derwent or ISI databases available in-house under MDL(R) ISIS for details. Derwent and ISI sources in DiscoveryGate include: -- CrossFire Beilstein -- MDL(R) Available Chemicals Directory -- ChemInform Reaction Library -- MDL(R) Drug Data Report -- MDL(R) Metabolite Database -- MDL(R) Toxicity Database -- MDL(R) Screening Compounds Directory -- MDL(R) Solid-Phase Organic Reactions -- MDL(R) Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry -- Current Synthetic Methodology -- MDL(R) Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry -- MDL(R) ORGSYN Database -- MDL(R) Reference Library of Synthetic Methodology -- National Cancer Institute Database -- AIDS Database "The world's top companies depend on Derwent's scientific and patent information to stay on top of the latest developments in today's fast moving markets," said Mike Tansey, president and CEO of Thomson Scientific Thomson Scientific is one of the five operating divisions of the Thomson Corporation. The Scientific division provides information-based solutions for the Academic, Business and R&D communities. . "Making selected Derwent and ISI databases available through DiscoveryGate is an effective way to get critical information to researchers' desktops in an accessible, easy-to-use, Web-based environment." When researchers locate compounds in a Derwent or ISI database, they can link to DiscoveryGate to explore the physical properties of the compounds, pertinent metabolism or toxicology studies, preparations to make the compounds, and commercial suppliers. MDL's DiscoveryGate indexes more than 11 million structures and provides easy links to access associated reactions and over 200 million facts from the following databases: -- CrossFire Beilstein -- MDL(R) Available Chemicals Directory -- ChemInform Reaction Library -- MDL(R) Drug Data Report -- MDL(R) Metabolite Database -- MDL(R) Toxicity Database -- MDL(R) Screening Compounds Directory -- MDL(R) Solid-Phase Organic Reactions -- MDL(R) Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry -- Current Synthetic Methodology -- MDL(R) Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry -- MDL(R) ORGSYN Database -- MDL(R) Reference Library of Synthetic Methodology -- National Cancer Institute Database -- AIDS Database About Derwent Information Limited Derwent Information is the world's leading patent and scientific information provider.
