The Gmelin-Beilstein Memorial Medal is awarded by the GDCh to national and international personalities who have made special contributions to the History of Chemistry, chemical literature or chemical information. The prize was donated by Hoechst AG in 1954 and has been financed by the GDCh since 1996. The award commemorates Messrs. Leopold Gmelin and Friedrich Beilstein, who published the first handbooks on inorganic and organic chemistry in the 19th century.
The GDCh honors Prof. Dr. Gisbert Schneider with the Gmelin-Beilstein commemorative coin 2022 for his pioneering work in integrating machine learning methods into practical medicinal chemistry, making him the pioneer of today's artificial intelligence approaches in drug design. He also coined the terms "scaffold-hopping" and "frequent hitter", which are now an integral part of the vocabulary of medicinal chemistry.
