Chemical Names

chemnames_Aug2013.zip All chemical names available. First field is NSC number, second filed is the name and the third field is the name type (most just generic "Chemical Name"). The field separator is a "|".  Note that we do not have chemical names for most of the compounds and many of the names that are there are systematic names that might not be very useful for searching.

Converted using Babel  4.2 MB compressed using standard Unix compress, uncompresses to ca. 15 MB. (zip compressed) The program Babel v. 1.6 was used to convert 3D coordinates, which had been generated by the program Corina v. 1.7 from the connection tables. (Babel needs 3D coordinates when reading SD files.) The resulting Babel output was modified by simple string substitution to solve the problem of nitro groups lacking formal charges, which leads many SMILES readers to create an -N-O-H group. Thus, N(=O)O was replaced by [N+](=O)[O-], and N(=O)(O) was replaced by [N+](=O)([O-]).

Converted using CACTVS 4.4 MB compressed using standard Unix compress, uncompresses to ca. 15 MB. (zip compressed ) The program CACTVS v. 3.2 was used to convert the connection tables to SMILES strings. Thanks to Wolf-Dietrich Ihlenfeldt for providing us with the conversion scripts handling the formal charge problem and other 'unusual stuff' in the NCI database.
