Education) workshop on cheminformatics, July 30, 2006
Creating a Distributed Drug Discovery Database
o Enumeration software is used to create large sets of potential product molecules.
o A list of potential drug lead candidates is split into small batches for synthesis in academic laboratories throughout the world.
o The pooled molecular products are tested by a distributed screening effort.
o The sum of these efforts becomes a powerful globally distributed drug lead process and solution.
DDD keeps track of datao Features
o Entry of reagents in the databaseo Generation of combinatorial productso Entry of synthesized products information
o Release:o Web application to enable data entry/searching of
DDD databaseo Workflow environment to support pipelining of tasks
involving DDD database o Web services to facilitate integration with other
resources (e.g., PubChem)
Database Built on:
o PostgreSQLo Java and HTML user interfaceso Tomcat Server and JDBC drivero Chemaxon
o Marvin Sketcho Marvin Viewo JChem Reactor

Entity-Relationship Diagram
Student Participation in DDD
o The synthetic laboratory experimental work is done in these locations around the world:o Indianapoliso Barcelonao Moscowo Lublin.
o IUPUI C444 Organic Chemistry Laboratoryo Summer 2006: 33 studentso Fall 2006: 20? students
