Extraction of chemical structures from
patent data
ACD/Labs and Reel Two have partnered to apply ACD/Labs's leading nomenclature software to the challenging task of converting chemical names found in full text patents to chemical structures
SureChem provides web-based structure and keyword searches of a database of more than 16 million compounds extracted from the full text of patents worldwide SureChem Enterprise, installed at the client's site, enables users to apply SureChem to their own documents and text data sources

Reel Two has incorporated ACD's Name to Structure into its SureChem patent chemistry portal and will be offering it as an option for clients licensing the on-site SureChem Enterprise product.
"Reel Two is using Name to Structure Batch to ensure the most comprehensive indexing possible," said Nicko Goncharoff, senior vice president at Reel Two.
"Name to Structure consistently delivers unambiguous structures for compounds that are often difficult to convert," he added.
Reel Two is one of the first users of the new Linux version of Name to Structure Batch and has been providing ACD/Labs with feedback and metrics for high-throughput conversion.
"Working with the team at SureChem has provided us with the opportunity to exercise our Name to Structure conversion algorithms on a very large data collection." comments Antony Williams, vice president and chief science officer at ACD/Labs.
"This interaction has enabled us to further optimise some of the name-to-structure algorithms to provide direct benefit to all of our users.
"We look forward to an ongoing mutually beneficial relationship, especially with our primary intention of delivering the highest quality conversion software in the industry".
The SureChem portal will be available for trial use and subscriptions in early February 2007.
