A program for the interactive selection of potential starting materials given a desired target molecule is described. The program uses hierarchical search to rapidly select candidates from a large starting material library and contains a function to evaluate the appropriateness of the functionality of the starting material. The user can specify restrictions on features such as the number of atoms in the starting material, price limitations, chirality, and whether to use superstructure or substructure searching. Several examples of the results of the program are presented.
A new parallel processing algorithm is reported for subgraph matching. Parallelism is achieved for the first time within the process of node-by-node matching of two individual graphs. A SIMULA program is described for simulating this parallel subgraph search algorithm. Simulation results from a series of chemical substructure search problems show an average utilization of 84% on a 25-processor machine and up to a 24-fold speed enhancement over a single processor. Potential applications include starting material selections for synthesis as well as general substructure search problems.
