Click a target to see other patent compounds predicted against it — the reverse direction, in place.

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 5 patents. claimed = in the patent's claims; disclosed = body only.
