A new protocol automates chemical information database construction from scientific literature, enhancing accuracy and efficiency. This method aids in accessing medical intelligence and accelerating research translation.
Area of Science:
- * Computational chemistry and cheminformatics.
- * Data science and knowledge management in scientific research.
Background:
- * Extracting chemical information from scientific literature is crucial but often manual and time-consuming.
- * Existing methods lack efficiency and automation for comprehensive database construction.
Purpose of the Study:
- * To develop an automated protocol for rapid chemical information database construction from scientific literature.
- * To enhance the accuracy, comprehensiveness, and efficiency of chemical data aggregation.
Main Methods:
- * Collected scientific literature (PDFs), patents, and technical reports.
- * Utilized optical structure recognition (CLiDE) and name conversion for chemical structure extraction.
- * Employed text mining (ChemDataExtractor) and manual curation for data population, supplemented by property prediction and bioactivity data linkage (ChEMBL).
Main Results:
- * Successfully created an automated protocol for chemical information database construction.
- * Developed an elementary marine natural product database (PKU-MNPD) containing 3,262 molecules and 19,821 records.
- * The protocol demonstrated efficiency in handling a dataset of 174 research articles and 25 reviews.
Conclusions:
- * The developed data aggregation protocol significantly improves the accuracy, comprehensiveness, and efficiency of chemical information database construction.
- * Structured chemical databases facilitate access to medical intelligence and accelerate the translation of research findings into practical applications.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
