Create a new HA through Compound

To begin a new HA, selecting a compound in DAIKON

  • Click on '+ New Hit Assessment'

1. Nomenclature

The Nomenclature form is the first step in creating a new Hit Assessment. It captures key identifiers and metadata for the project. Fields include:

  • Project Name - Give your project a clear and meaningful name that reflects its purpose or objective. A good name will make it easier to identify the project later.

  • Description - Provide a brief explanation of the project's goal or scope.

  • Primary Organization - Lead organization responsible for the project.

  • Participating Organizations - Include any other organizations collaborating on the project.

  • Status (e.g., Ready, Active, Inactive, Complete) - Definitions for each status are shown in the Overview tab for reference.

  • Click Next to proceed to add more information.

2. Compound

  • Start with a Compound: Manually enter a specific compound (e.g., via SMILES or Compound ID) and associate it with the appropriate screen.
  • Search for the compound using SMILES or Name in the MolecuLogix database. Use any of the following query types - Substructure, Similarity, Exact Match or Name Search.


  • If the compound is registered in MolecuLogix, it will appear in the window below. Select the respective compound to continue.
  • If the compound is not yet registered, please ensure it is registered in MolecuLogix before proceeding. You can view the registration process here.

  • Once the compound is located, select it to populate the compound fields in the HA creation form, and move on to 'Screen and Hit Collection'.

  • Select the appropriate Hit Collection (if any) to link the HA to the corresponding screen.

  • Select all related/additional hits for the HA project.
  • Review all entered details, and click Create Hit Assessment to finalize.
