Databases

Here, some of the databases designed and curated in our group

1. NAtural PROducts REpository - Costa Rica

Costa Rica is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, thus NAPRORE-CR was born as a need to make an inventory of the wealth of isolated and identified natural products in Costa Rica.

Within the aims of this repository:

  1. Create an open access repository where natural products isolated and identified in Costa Rica can be found.

  2. Characterize the chemical diversity of the compounds in the database using chemoinformatic tools and thus be able to serve as a reference source for the design of new drugs and biomaterials.

  3. Be part of and contribute to the Latin American Natural Product Database (LANaPD)

NAPRORE-CR is being designed and developed in collaboration with the research group of Dr. Jose Medina-Franco at UNAM.

The database will be part of the Latin American Natural Product Database ( LANaPD)

2. Toluene/Water Partition Coefficient Database

In recent years the use of partition systems other than the widely used biphasic n-octanol/water has received increased attention to gain insight into the molecular features that dictate the lipophilicity of compounds. Thus, the difference between n-octanol/water and toluene/water partition coefficients has proven to be a valuable descriptor to study the propensity of molecules to form intramolecular hydrogen bonds and exhibit chameleon-like properties that modulate solubility and permeability. In this context, Toluene Database is a dataset of 252 unique molecules with experimentally determined toluene/water partition coefficient is deposited here.
