molecules with "BLAH BLAH BLAH" in them



The ZINC15 database has a wonderful selection of molecules.
I found a handful of molecules with the generalized positional index "BLAH" in their names. Perhaps this is a new shorthand for denoting positions on scaffolds.

Consider the following 7-ring scaffold
It's name is 18,19-diazahexacyclo[BLAH.BLAH.BLAH.BLAH.BLAH.BLAH.BLAH]nonadeca-1(3),2(4),10-triene.

I guess moieties could be placed at any of the 7 BLAH positions on the scaffold.
Marvellous!

Information SourceDescription (Summary of the contextual information from the source)Interpretation / Significance
(OECD) High Production Volume (HPV)The OECD List of HPV Chemicals (LINK WORKS! portable document format (PDF), 1.10 megabytes [MB]) serves as the overall priority list from which chemicals are selected for Screening Information Data Set (SIDS) data gathering and testing and initial hazard assessment. The HPV list is compiled for substances which are produced or imported at levels ≥ 1000 tons per year in at least one Member country or in the European Union region.These international lists of high production volume (HPV) chemicals, particularly the United States (US) lists, are judged as important indicators of a substance potentially being in commerce in Canada in higher quantities.
ICCA HPVThe global chemical industry, through the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA), has undertaken to provide, as a first step, harmonized data sets on the intrinsic hazards of and initial hazard assessments for approximately 1000 HPV substances (LINK BROKEN Excel Spreadsheet, 284KB) by the end of 2004. The information will be submitted to the OECD for international agreement as part of its refocused HPV Chemicals Program.
