Characterizing information content of Markush libraries with InChI (CINF—InChI) Authors: Gabriel Sinclair, Inthirany Thillainadarajah, Brian Meyer, Vicente Samano, Sakuntala Sivasupramaniam, Linda Adams, Ann Richard, Antony Williams The application of Markush structures in the regulatory world is expanding to describe chemical categories, such as subclasses of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and substances of unknown or variable composition. However, the nature of Markush enumeration is a challenge of combinatoric complexity. Beyond the up-front computation, incorporation of unexamined Markush library data has often overwhelmed chemical data resources with synthetically intractable or experimentally unimportant structures. The interoperability of InChI provides a “first line” to compare generated structures to each other and across resources. We use this comparison to evaluate the informativeness of individual Markush structures of regulatory importance and expand on strategies to select maximally informative and concise libraries to describe chemical categories.
