Jason Kettle and colleagues at AstraZeneca in UK outline a simple and direct strategy for extraction of potentially high value reagents from patent and other medicinal literature.
This approach is based on fragmentation and analysis of molecules described in patent and medicinal chemistry literature. They also highlight an example of key secondary amines with potential for broad applicability across medicinal chemistry.
