Abstract
Malaysia has an abundance of plants that are currently being explored for their medicinal uses. These plants, if found to be potent could be used to treat diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Natural product is a chemical compound produced by living organisms and chemical syntheses, which is the foundation of drugs. Scientists worldwide are racing to discover potent compounds from plants to be made into commercialized drugs. Existing repositories on compounds centre around plants found in western countries. Hence, it is imperative to build a repository for compounds discovered from Malaysia’s natural sources. This paper explains our design of a compound repository at AuRIns, UiTM. Unlike most repositories which are modeled based on a relational database, we use NoSQL document database to store the unstructured information of natural product. Prototyping was used to develop this system.
