Cheminformatics is the use of computer and informational techniques, applied to a range of problems in the field of chemistry. Also known as chemoinformatics and chemical informatics. These in silico techniques are used in pharmaceutical companies in the process of drug discovery.

History


The term (chemical) graph was introduced by Cullen in 1758.D. Bonchev, D.H. Rouvray: Chemical Graph Theory: Introduction and Fundamentals. Gordon and Breach Science Publishers, 1990, ISBN 0-85626-454-7. He used those graphs for affinity diagrams showing a relationship between chemical substances. Those results have never been published officially.

The term Chemoinformatics was defined by F.K. BrownF.K. Brown Chapter 35. Chemoinformatics: What is it and How does it Impact Drug Discovery. Annual Reports in Med. Chem., Ed. James A. Bristol, 1998, Vol. 33, pp. 375.Brown, Frank. Editorial Opinion: Chemoinformatics – a ten year update Current Opinion in Drug Discovery & Development (2005), 8(3), 296-302. in 1998:

Chemoinformatics is the mixing of those information resources to transform data into information and information into knowledge for the intended purpose of making better decisions faster in the area of drug lead identification and optimization. (Brown, 1998).
Since this, the term has evolved to be established as Cheminformatics *.
