Background:

Comparing large chemical databases is computationally intensive.
Existing methods for database comparison are often complex and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop efficient methods for characterizing and comparing large chemical databases.
To assess the diversity of chemical databases.

Main Methods:

Categorizing compounds using precalculated structure-based hashcodes.
Comparing databases by analyzing hashcode tables.
Employing the saturation diversity approach for independent diversity assessment.

Main Results:

Hashcode comparison provides an efficient method for comparing large chemical databases.

The number of distinct ring-system combinations serves as a diversity indicator.

Both hashcode comparison and saturation diversity approach yield comparable results.

Conclusions:

The proposed hashcode-based method simplifies chemical database comparison.
Both developed methods effectively assess chemical database diversity.
The convergence of results suggests inherent properties of the studied databases.
