DayCart(tm) introduced by DAYLIGHT

Mission Viejo, Calif. USA - July 14, 2000 -- DAYLIGHT Chemical Information
Systems, Inc. (USA) today introduces a new addition to the array of DAYLIGHT
software products; DayCart(tm), an application using the unique
extensibility features of Oracle8i(tm) designed to fully integrate the
molecular structures and reactions in an Oracle8i database server
environment. As an integrated module DayCart does not require any call-outs
or other operations outside of the Oracle server, in order to perform its
functions. DayCart delivers the speed, capacity and performance of Daylight
tools throughout the organization. Use of DayCart with the Oracle8i server,
unlocks the access of existing Oracle* applications and tools (such as SQL,
PL/SQL, Java, C, etc.) to the array of chemical information.

"DayCart was developed in close collaboration with Novartis' scientists and
the architects of Oracle8i's extensibility framework. Thus, DayCart
provides a practical and exceptionally efficient solution fully compliant
with Oracle technology. Today DayCart delivers an extensive range of
chemical information capabilities, such as fast direct storage and retrieval
of 2D and 3D, structures, reactions and mixtures. Operations provided
include high performance searching of full structure, sub-structure,
super-structure, similarity and other structural operations. Our
utilization of Unique SMILES and its indexing, delivers unparalleled speed
and flexibility in storing, novelty checking and searching operations,"
stated Yosef Taitz, Chief Executive Officer of DAYLIGHT. "Utilizing the
DayCart technology today, we deliver a corporate compound registration
system handling archival, searching and retrieval of over 9 million
compounds with lightning speed. A wide range of DayCart solutions are being
produced, both by Daylight and by its development partners. We are
providing a migration path for conversion and integration of existing data.
Daylight chemical technology, tightly integrated with the Oracle8i database
opens the door to groundbreaking 'informatics' solutions. This technology
empowers users to bridge and expand the horizons of chemical information
science, merge biological and chemical data, and provide solutions for data
warehousing, compound acquisition, and more."

"The Oracle database is unique in its ability to singularly store, manage
and secure relational data, files and unstructured data," said Jeremy
Burton, senior vice president of iPlatform marketing, Oracle Corp. "By
extending these data management capabilities, as DAYLIGHT Chemical
Information Systems has with DayCart, technology continues to drive
significant business and scientific advances. We are pleased to be a
fundamental part of these advances."

"The Daylight Cartridge combines strong performance with interesting
versatility through Daylight's typical toolkit approach. It enables Pharma
R&D IT functions to adapt their systems flexibly to the new challenges in
the business and scientific environments." Said Dr. Rene Ziegler the Head of
Pharma Research Information Management at Novartis.

DAYLIGHT Chemical Information Systems, incorporated in 1987, is a privately
held company headquartered in Mission Viejo, CA, with a research office in
Santa Fe, NM and in Cambridge England. DAYLIGHT is a technology leader who
