ZINCPharmer: pharmacophore search of the ZINC database. [PMID: 22553363]
Koes DR, Camacho CJ.

ZINCPharmer (http://zincpharmer.csb.pitt.edu) is an online interface for searching the purchasable compounds of the ZINC database using the Pharmer pharmacophore search technology. A pharmacophore describes the spatial arrangement of the essential features of an interaction. Compounds that match a well-defined pharmacophore serve as potential lead compounds for drug discovery. ZINCPharmer provides tools for constructing and refining pharmacophore hypotheses directly from molecular structure. A search of 176 million conformers of 18.3 million compounds typically takes less than a minute. The results can be immediately viewed, or the aligned structures may be downloaded for off-line analysis. ZINCPharmer enables the rapid and interactive search of purchasable chemical space.
