The information system (IS) Cantharella: Pharmacochemical database of natural substances, designed and developed by IRD, share and sustain pharmacochemical data of all organisms collected for the study of their natural substances, with a controlled access via the Internet.
The IS provides access to harvest and taxonomic data, monitor various chemical processes of extraction and purification, and finally centralize all biological activities.
The database is progressive according to the extraction and purification methods needed and the biological tests performed.
The strengths:
- Collaborative work between spatially disparate people
- Secure access and "compartmentalized” according to data access rights
- Traceability of the chemical process leading to the active compounds
- Capitalization of data and related documents
