veriCAS 0.0.1001

Calculate atom economy for chemical reactions using reaction SMILES

Last update 21 June 2024

Welcome to veriCAS

veriCAS, a python library package for verification of CAS numbers and SMILES for known GHS hazards. Additionally, CAS numbers are screened against a target list (e.g. safety-relevant, export control, peroxydes, known peroxyde formers, custom, ...). For new chemical compounds SMILES functional group matching for explosives hazards is available.

Version

1.0.0: Initial release

:bulb: Description

The veriCAS project is a Python library designed for verification and analysis of chemical compounds represented by their CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) registry numbers and/or SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) strings.

veriCAS aims to provide comprehensive information about chemicals, including their structural formulas, IUPAC names and safety classifications according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The main output being the GHS hazard pictograms and GHS azard statements.

:flying_saucer: Usage:

The veriCAS Python library is used as a tool for chemists, researchers, and professionals working with chemical compounds to verify their safety-relevant data, retrieve essential information, and analyze the safety classifications of compounds according to the internationally recognized standard GHS.

Here's an overview of its main functionalities:

Validation:

Validates the format and existance of input CAS numbers and SMILES strings.

Information Retrieval

Retrieves chemical compound information such as canonical and isomeric SMILES, IUPAC names, safety classifications (GHS), and matches based on target list and specific functional groups.

Data Querying

Queries database PubChem to fetch safety classification information and additional details about chemical compounds.

Output Generation

Generates a summary report containing detailed information about chemical compounds, including structural formulas, names, GHS safety classifications, and any matches found based on list and functional groups entries.

:octopus: Installation

Use the package manager pip to install foobar.

pip install veriCAS

Examples

import veriCAS

# returns 'words'
foobar.pluralize('word')

# returns 'geese'
foobar.pluralize('goose')

# returns 'phenomenon'
foobar.singularize('phenomena')
