Systematic naming tools deployed at
Incyte
Server-based chemical prediction and search technology enables users within an organisation to access the latest chemical databases and property prediction programs through their intranet
Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD Labs) says it has successfully deployed its systematic naming tools throughout Incyte via its interactive laboratory tool, I-Lab I-Lab intranet edition is the server-based chemical prediction and search technology that enables users within an organisation to access the latest chemical databases and property prediction programs through their corporate intranet while eliminating the need to deploy desktop software on each machine

Oxford equips NMR facilities with software
Department of chemistry at the University of Oxford has equipped its NMR facilities with spectral processing, prediction, and databasing software from ACD/Labs
Through integration between ACD Labs and Synthematix, users of Synthematix's Arthur suite reaction planning system are able to access selected I-Lab tools from within the Arthur synthetic chemistry environment.
Arthur users can add the ability to predict the physicochemical properties of their molecular structures, predict the multinuclear NMR spectra of their reaction products, and generate chemical names, based on either Iupac or CAS Index rules, to populate their structure databases with systematic nomenclature.
Incyte recently licensed Arthur suite for its own medicinal chemists, as it offered the right mix of functionality and ease-of-use to help increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their drug discovery efforts.
When it came time for Incyte to purchase a naming solution for its enterprise, I-Lab's naming tools were the natural fit, as they offered not only the industry standard in naming capabilities, but a solution that could be fully integrated with their existing system.
Brian Metcalf, executive vice president and chief drug discovery scientist at Incyte, stated: "The integrated I-Lab naming tool allows our medicinal chemists to quickly and accurately generate IUPAC names within the Synthematix e-notebook for the reagents and compounds synthesised in our labs.
We expect the I-Lab naming tool will increase the efficiency of our chemistry efforts".
Antony Williams, VP scientific development and marketing at ACD Labs, adds, "ACD Name is the quality standard in systematic nomenclature software.
"Deploying these algorithms via our I-Lab technology, and integrating to the Arthur suite, offers chemists at Incyte seamless access to the industry standard naming software in a web-based environment.
"We are confident that Incyte chemists will truly benefit from the fruits of our collaboration.".
