The experimentally established mechanism targets of Glycolic Acid. The predicted profile below is derived independently by chemical similarity — agreement is a validation signal, a miss is honest.

Similar compounds — the chemically nearest patent molecules
Nearest neighbours by Morgan-fingerprint cosine across the patent-compound collection, with each neighbour's top predicted target and the predicted targets it shares with this molecule.

Similarity is cosine over the 2,048-bit Morgan fingerprint (≈ Tanimoto). Identical fingerprints score 1.00.
Patent provenance — the patents this molecule appears in, and who filed them
Claimed or disclosed in 4 patents. claimed = in the patent's claims; disclosed = body only.

Patent text — is the patent's own abstract consistent with the prediction?
For each of this compound's patents that has machine-readable text (1 of them — usually the abstract, not the full specification), we ask MedCPT which protein the text reads most about, and where the chemistry-predicted target lands among 4885 human targets. A high rank means the patent's own wording is consistent with the prediction — a weak, independent signal, not proof of activity.

“Text reads most about” is the patent abstract's nearest protein in MedCPT space (background-debiased). Only ~1.4% of patents have machine-readable text, so most compounds won't have this panel.
