SureChem

Quickly find chemical compounds in text documents

SureChem enables you to find all the chemical structures in a patent, journal article, conference proceeding or any other text document. Users can search by chemical name, 2D structure or SMILES string. Visual display of structure images, compound names and document highlights let you quickly figure out which documents and compounds are relevant to your search.

SureChem works by extracting chemical names from text documents and converting them into chemical compound structures. Because SureChem can recognize what is and isn't a chemical name, it doesn't rely on manually-curated compound name or structure databases.

The SureChem Portal currently gives users access to USPTO full-text patent documents and MEDLINE journal abstracts. More patent data, including European and Japanese patents, PCT applications and New Zealand and Australian patents, will be added in coming months. For customers looking to apply SureChem to their own document sources there is a version of SureChem developed specifically for onsite installation, SureChem Enterprise.
