Patcore, Inc., an exclusive agency for ChemAxon in Japan, has licensed ChemAxon’s  JChem Cartridge for Oracle to Eisai Co. Eisai will use the database storage and search technology for the management of chemical structure information generated in the company’s discovery processes in its global R&D organization. Also, the current structure compound control checking system “CRAIS Checker”, developed by Patcore, which is used in Eisai’s domestic research laboratories, will also be deployed globally.

JChem Cartridge for Oracle was developed by ChemAxon, a provider of platform toolkits for chemical structure handling, and adds chemical knowledge to the Oracle platform. CRAIS Checker is a system to evaluate whether a given compound is a controlled substance, based on chemical structure.
