MDL® Isentris™ | Printer Friendly    
"Isentris is a new way to manage all your research data to make faster, better decisions. It integrates all of your different applications, as well as data sources at one desktop. All scientists in a company are able to share their data worldwide and make decisions independent of using internal data or external data sources." — Mike May and Gary Heeber, "Combinatorial and Computational Chemistry: Creating New Therapeutic Compounds", Science Magazine
MDL® Isentris is an informatics system for integrating information and applications into scientific workflows to improve R&D productivity.
For scientists, Isentris is a desktop environment for efficiently searching data, analyzing results, reporting, sharing and managing research information in a collaborative manner. Organizations can develop and extend applications using Isentris, integrate with specialized tools and give scientists access to internal and external data sources in their research environments.

Customer comments:

"The impact on our research workflow has been very positive, especially with regard to the interface which is easy to query and use and offers a nice, interactive reporting capability" —Carlo Riva, Head of Chemical Synthesis, Pharmaceutical R&D, Recordati. learn more (PDF)
"I was really impressed with how user-friendly it was and especially with the reaction planning functionality. The ability to explore precursor reaction steps and quickly build reaction plans looks very useful and could save us a lot of time during our synthesis preparation." —Dominique Swinnen, Senior Scientist, Serono. learn more (PDF)
Examples of supported workflows:
  • Deliver essential scientific data into researchers' workflows.
  • Create solutions that combine proprietary data and commercial information, in-house applications, MDL applications and specialized software from other vendors.
  • Plan synthetic routes efficiently, generate new compounds faster and reduce information bottlenecks with efficient access to the right information in the right format (including access to Beilstein Database and MDL Patent Chemistry Database).
  • Search, browse filter, visualize and report warehouse data. Leverage SAR functionality to support decisions.
  • Rapidly build custom scientific applications, extend applications and integrate existing applications.
The MDL Isentris system includes:

  • MDL® Isentris® client—Search, browse, collate and share scientific data in an efficient, time-saving manner that is integrated with workflows.

  • Isentris for Excel—Access, browse, collate, report, manage and share scientific data from a diverse range of public and proprietary data sources in the Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet environment.

  • MDL® Draw—Quickly draw precise chemical structures and reactions, create publication-quality graphics and create and edit MDL ISIS-compatible sketches.

  • Isentris® controls—Access and leverage the underlying functionality of the MDL Isentris system with a set of .NET controls that can be used in Microsoft® Visual Studio® to rapidly build custom scientific applications, extend applications and integrate existing applications.

  • MDL® Cheshire®— Define cheminformatic business rules for different applications to perform particular operations, such as chemical convention checks, chemical structure validation, and physico-chemical property calculations.

  • MDL® Core Interface—Access essential services for managing and supporting critical application workflows for scientific researchers in the Isentris middle tier; build consistent, high-quality applications quickly; create useful data views; find information easier.

  • MDL® Direct—Search and register molecules and reactions in Oracle® databases using a single, powerful chemistry data cartridge.
