Chemical Identifier Resolver (CIR)

CIR works as a resolver for different
chemical structure identifiers or
representations.
It allows one to convert a given
structure identifier into another
representation or structure
identifier.

current status: 140 chemical structure databases
(as of March 2010) 120 million structure records
84.6 million unique structures by FICuS
110 million Standard InChIKeys for lookup

Chemical Structure Database (Update 2012)

• PubChem Substance & Compound as separate databases
(both updated to 2012)
• ChemNavigator iResearch Library: updated to 2012
• new databases, e.g.
• Therapeutic Target Database (TTD)
• Human Metabolome Database (HMDB)
• DrugBank
• “pull” download of databases also available in PubChem, e.g.
• DSSTox, ZINC 2012/01, ChEBI 2012/01, ChEMBL13,
ChemIDplus 2012/01
• to a limited extend “historic versions” of databases are archived,
e.g. comparison of PubChem Substance 2007 vs 2012 will be
possible

Soon: Chemical File Resolver (CFR)

Chemical File Resolver (CFR)

chemical HTTP Post HTTP Get chemical
CFR
file file

• allows conversion of many chemical file formats into another
format or other representations
• will have a programmatic URL API & a HTML Web interface
• url’izes all elements of the original file, i.e. provides access to each
specific record, field, and any metadata (size, record count, etc.) of
the posted file by URLs
• release: Q2/2012 (hopefully)


CFR
file file

• HTTP: post a file (e.g. with curl), CFR replies with a MD5 hash key:

curl -F upload=@/your/local/file.sdf http://cactus.nci.nih.gov/chemical/file
>d85b396ed6ced6348a5b402eb8fcfe8b

• accepted formats:
• chemical file formats: alc, cdxml, cerius, charmm, cif, cml, jme,
maestro, mol, mol2, mrv, pdb, sdf, sdf3000, sln, smiles, xyz, …
• text files with a list of identifiers …

Post a plain text file, e.g.:

• request new file format using the obtained MD5 hash key:

curl http://cactus.nci.nih.gov/TEST/chemical/file/{key}?format={sdf, smi, pdb, cml, …}

• get field names:

curl http://cactus.nci.nih.gov/TEST/chemical/file/{key}/fields

• get a specific field value from record n:

IUPAC InChI/InChIKey Resolver

• (hopefully) there will be many resolvers from different
providers with different background:
• publishers
• commercial databases
• free sources and databases: ChemSpider, PubChem, ChEBI, …
• InChI/InChIKey is the perfect tool to interlink the resolvers
• ChemSpider, PubChem and NCI/CADD are working on a test
protocol for a federated InChI/InChIKey resolver
