Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry II
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/referenceworks/9780080450445
MIL-8 REF RS402 .C65 2007 v.1-8
David Triggle, State University of New York, Buffalo, USA
John Taylor, Rhone-Poulenc Rorer, Workwide, UK
Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry II has been refocused to reflect the significant developments and changes over the past decade in genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening and pharmacology, and more. It covers major therapeutic classes and targets, research strategy and organization, high-throughput technologies, computer-assisted design, ADME and selected case histories. Unlike its predecessor, CMC (1990), it is also available online via ScienceDirect (2006) – featuring extensive browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases (Scopus).

2. New compound databases -
ChemSpider
BindingDB
Generated Database of Chemical Space of Small Molecules
ChemSpider: Online Database of Chemical Structures and Property Predictions
http://www.chemspider.com
ChemSpider is a database of over 14.7M chemical structures and predicted properties. It also provides access to a series of property prediction algorithms. Content is aggregated from publicly available data sources, such as PubChem. A User Guide is available at:
http://www.chemspider.com/docs/chemspider_manual.pdf
Services currently available are:
Generation of systematic identifiers – SMILES and InChI strings
Conversion of a systematic name, a trivial name, a registry number, a SMILES string or
InChI code to a chemical structure
• Prediction of physicochemical properties based on ACD/Lab algorithms
-------------------------
BindingDB: The Binding Database
http://www.bindingdb.org/bind/index.jsp
"BindingDB is a public, web-accessible database of measured binding affinities for biomolecules, genetically or chemically modified biomolecules, and synthetic compounds.The database currently contains data generated by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and enzyme inhibition (Enz. Inhib.) methods; other techniques will be included in the future."
------------------------
Generated Database of Chemical Space of Small Molecules
http://dcbwww.unibe.ch/groups/reymond/
" … a database of all molecules up to 11 atoms under constraints that define chemical stability and synthetic feasibility. The database contains 26.4 million compounds, the vast majority of which have never been synthesized. Searching through this database might help to identify new synthetic targets with interesting properties, and the discovery of new drugs."
