Web Search of New Linearized Medical Drug Leads

Iaakov Exman

Abstract

The Web is a potentially huge source of medical drug leads. But despite the significant amount of multi-dimensional information about drugs, currently commercial search engines accept only linear keyword strings as inputs. This work uses linearized fragments of molecular structures as knowledge re-presentation units to serve as inputs to search engines. It is shown that quite ar-bitrary fragments are surprisingly free of ambiguity, obtaining relatively small result sets, which are both manageable and rich in novel potential drug leads.
