(Press-News.org) Wiley, one of the world’s largest publishers and a global leader in research and learning, today announced the 2024 release of its Wiley Identifier of Natural Products (AntiBase Library + ChemWindow).
With an extensive collection of over 95,000 compounds, this growing natural products database serves as a powerful drug discovery screening tool to narrow down possible novel compounds having antimicrobial, antitumor, or other desired effects. Additionally, it finds applications in food and cosmetics, agriculture, pesticides, and other sectors where natural products are prevalent.
The latest release introduces 37,000 new compounds to the collection in addition to spectra computed using Wiley's proprietary AI technologies.
Graeme Whitley, Director of Data Science Solutions at Wiley, expressed enthusiasm about the continued impact of this work. He stated, “We are committed to providing the scientific community with a resource that streamlines the discovery of compounds with significant therapeutic potential.”
In addition to the comprehensive AntiBase library, the Wiley Identifier of Natural Products includes ChemWindow software’s sophisticated high-performance datamining and chemical databasing tools to accelerate research by enabling users to build and leverage their internal knowledge alongside commercial libraries.

Reproductive success improves after a single generation in the wild for descendants of some hatchery-origin Chinook salmon
2024-04-16
NEWPORT, Ore. – Researchers who created “family trees” for nearly 10,000 fish found that first-generation, wild-born descendants of hatchery-origin Chinook salmon in an Oregon river show improved fitness.
The finding, based on data collected over 13 years, is encouraging for Chinook salmon recovery efforts, said Kathleen O’Malley, an associate professor at Oregon State University and the study’s senior author. In this study, fitness is measured by the number of adult offspring a fish produces, with higher fitness leading to more offspring.
“Previous studies have shown that hatchery-origin Chinook salmon have lower reproductive success ...
New treatment method using plasma irradiation promotes faster bone healing
2024-04-16
“Break a leg!” is a welcome blessing of good luck, but who wants to hear that they have actually broken a bone? What’s worse, fractures that are displaced or complex require surgery and possibly lengthy recovery times while the patient remains partly or wholly immobilized.
Aiming to shorten recovery times, an Osaka Metropolitan University-led research group is focusing on plasma irradiation as a treatment method to speed up bone healing.
The Department of Orthopedic Surgery’s Kosuke Saito, a graduate student in the Graduate School of Medicine, Associate Professor Hiromitsu Toyoda, and Professor Hiroaki ...
CNIC scientists identify therapeutic targets for the prevention of heart injury linked to cancer treatment
2024-04-16
Scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have identified the mechanisms through which anthracyclines, a widely used class of anticancer drugs, damage the hearts of patients receiving this treatment. The study, published in the journal JACC: CardioOncology, also identifies possible treatments for this complication, which affects an estimated one third of cancer survivors.
More than 4 million people in Europe are diagnosed with cancer every year. Fortunately, survival rates have increased significantly thanks to improved treatments and advances in diagnosis.
Anthracyclines, ...
Older males out-compete young males when it comes to extra-marital breeding
2024-04-16
Young male blue tits are less successful in fathering offspring outside their breeding pair, not because of a lack of experience, but because they are outcompeted by older males, Bart Kempenaers and colleagues from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence in Germany report in a study publishing April 16th in the open-access journal PLOS Biology.
Many birds form breeding pairs but will also mate and produce offspring outside of that pairing — known as “extra-pair” paternity. Inexperienced males in their first year of breeding ...
Using machine learning to identify patients with cancer that would benefit from immunotherapy
2024-04-16
A new study examines the development of two machine learning models to classify the immunophenotype of a cancer specimen. The digital pathology approach presented can characterize and classify cancer immunophenotypes in a reproducible and scalable fashion, holding promise for the application of such a. method to identify patients that may benefit from immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to the study published in the peer-reviewed journal AI in Precision Oncology.

NASA’s Fermi mission sees no gamma rays from nearby supernova
2024-04-16
A nearby supernova in 2023 offered astrophysicists an excellent opportunity to test ideas about how these types of explosions boost particles, called cosmic rays, to near light-speed. But surprisingly, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected none of the high-energy gamma-ray light those particles should produce.
On May 18, 2023, a supernova erupted in the nearby Pinwheel galaxy (Messier 101), located about 22 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. The event, named SN 2023ixf, is the most luminous nearby supernova discovered since Fermi launched in ...
Neutrons rule the roost for cage-free lithium ions
2024-04-16
An international team of scientists found a way to improve battery design that could produce safer, more powerful lithium batteries.
The team used quasi-elastic neutron scattering at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to set the first benchmark, one-nanosecond, or one billionth of a second, for a mixture of lithium salt and an organic polymer electrolyte.
“It all comes down to the study of materials,” said Eugene Mamontov, ORNL Chemical Spectroscopy group leader. “And polymer electrolytes won’t catch fire the way liquid electrolytes do in lithium batteries.”
The team used the neutron technique to validate computer ...
Common HIV treatments may aid Alzheimer’s disease patients
2024-04-16
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) currently afflicts nearly seven million people in the U.S. With this number expected to grow to nearly 13 million by 2050, the lack of meaningful therapies represents a major unmet medical need. Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys have now identified promising real-world links between common HIV drugs and a reduced incidence of AD. The study, led by Jerold Chun, M.D., Ph.D., was published in Pharmaceuticals.
Chun’s new research builds on his lab’s landmark ...
Turner to receive funding for Israel Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship
2024-04-16
John Turner, Professor, Religious Studies, is set to receive funding for: “Israel Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship.”
This funding will support a postdoctoral teaching fellow for three (3) academic years starting in fall 2024.
Regarding the importance of this funding, Turner said, “Curricula across academic units at George Mason contain very little material about the modern State of Israel, a significant gap given the importance of the nation and region to contemporary politics and conflict. This grant will enable RELI to address this gap and add content on this important subject.”
Turner will receive $248,460 from Israel ...
How AI improves physician and nurse collaboration
2024-04-16
With large language models that take notes during patient visits and algorithms that identify disease, artificial intelligence has begun to prove its worth as an assistant for physicians. But a new study from Stanford Medicine shows the potential of AI as a facilitator — one that helps doctors and nurses connect to achieve more efficient, effective patient care.
The study, which published in JAMA Internal Medicine last month, describes an AI-based model in use at Stanford Hospital that ...
