Which databases are integrated in Reaxys?

Reaxys offers a highly intuitive interface and robust database to help leading chemists retrieve relevant chemical literature, patent information, valid compound properties and experimental procedures in half the time of other chemistry information solutions.

Designed to support the full range of chemistry research, including pharmaceutical development, the chemicals industry and academic research, Reaxys puts every scientist, from novice to expert, on the shortest path to answers.

With powerful search options and instant access to expertly curated chemical data, Reaxys helps chemists and researchers:

• Discover chemical structures, properties and reactions
• Find relevant chemistry literature and patents with ease
• Construct queries with streamlined, intuitive interfaces
• Assess compound synthesis and purchase options
• Share research data within and outside an organization or institution
• Compare in-house and published experimental data

Target and Bioactivity covers the intersection between the informational spaces of small molecules and bioactivity. Mediating the relationships in this intersection are the drug candidates and the druggable targets biological pathways, tissues, cell lines, organisms and bioassays that were used to test hit and lead compounds. Consequently, all of the compounds included in Target and Bioactivity have reported bioactivity and all of the data are for real, experimentally determined biological effects.

In this informational space, you will find answers to questions that support decisions for drug discovery and lead optimization. If you are looking for compounds to test or modify, you will find information on affinity, potency, specificity and synthesis. If you are looking for guidance on how to optimize or repurpose a compound, you will additionally find information on the pharmacokinetic properties, toxicity, off-target activity, metabolism and transport of the compound or similar molecules.

The mission of Target and Bioactivity is to facilitate the development of ‘smarter leads’ – leads with optimal affinity, selectivity and ADMET properties; leads that will not fail in preclinical and clinical phases for reasons that could have been predicted. This requires access to data that must be laboriously extracted by hand from the overwhelmingly large body of published literature. For that, we have established a methodical and unrivalled production process.

Target and Bioactivity is to be the single source for the most detailed and high-quality data on small molecules that are relevant and meaningful to medicinal chemistry.

Reaxys Commercial Substances (RCS) is a fully integrated supplier database of a growing pool of over 250 vendors of chemical substances (including the aggregator eMolecules), allowing the user to ask supply related questions and ultimately make synthesis-or-purchase decisions.

Use Quick Search and the Commercial Substances querylets via the Query Builder to search details associated to over 165 million substances (including building blocks, screening compounds and analog compounds from Enamine).with over 430 million associated product items.

The shopping cart icon available for any structure in a substance, reaction or literature query or within a synthesis plan will take you directly to supplier related information.

Reaxys Commercial Substances results include the following information:

• CAS number and catalogue-specific product ID
• Price and package size
• Purity, structure and supplier specific details (address, telephone, email address etc)
• Stock availability, shipment time, supplier country and supplier data update label

Customers’ preferred suppliers can be integrated upon request. Simply ask your suppliers to register their interest on our supplier platform. Our partner, Innodata will contact them to discuss their addition.

PubChem is a provider of information on the biological activities of small molecules. The system is maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a component of the National Library of Medicine, which is part of the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH). The information comes from a variety of sources including researchers and commercial compound directories.

Reaxys hosts PubChem content (structures and table of content) in its secure environment and structure searches in Reaxys are run across all integrated databases incl. PubChem compounds at the same time (with no impact on search speed). The results are presented in the database list dropdown on the substance result page in the Reaxys interface with TOC headers hyperlinked to PubChem.

Structures matching with Reaxys content are marked and can be filtered. The integration with Reaxys allows users to start a synthesis plan in Reaxys via a similarity search, even if PubChem compounds do not have a preparation.
