Comparison of chemical clustering methods using graph- and fingerprint-based similarity measures [PDF]
This paper compares several published methods for clustering chemical structures, using both graph- and fingerprint-based similarity measures. The clusterings from each method were compared to determine the degree of cluster overlap. Each method was also

Isolation of Nalorphine Ethereal Sulfate and Nalorphine Glucuronide from Urine of Cat and Rabbit
SummaryIsolation of a major metabolite of nalorphine from the urine of the cat was accomplished. This metabolite was nalorphine-3-ethereal sulfate by chemical synthesis of the compound. Evidence is presented to characterize the crystalline metabolite isolated from the urine of the rabbit as nalorphine-3-glucuronide.
