Help building a database of organic compounds used in pharmaceuticals

AI Thread Summary
Building a database of organic compounds for the pharmaceutical industry, particularly those with heteroatoms constituting at least 15% by mass, can be effectively initiated by utilizing existing resources. ChemSpider is recommended as a valuable free database that compiles data from various sources, making it a useful starting point for research. The discussion highlights the existence of large, well-maintained databases that may already serve the intended purpose, suggesting that leveraging these resources could save time and effort in compiling new data.

Hello Guys,

So I'm trying to build a database of organic compounds that are of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Most importantly compounds containing heteroatoms (>= 15% by mass). Where do i start!? any good websites or books, with a useful appendix you can tell me about?
I would really appreciate your feedback!

Cheers

There are already huge databases like the one you are trying to make, and they are maintained by the large teams.

Go to chemspider.com (one of the free examples) and browse the data they show, they are already collected from many sources.
 
Thanks :)
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
