Abstract ChEMBL is an Open Data database containing binding, functional and ADMET
information for a large number of drug-like bioactive compounds. These data are manually
abstracted from the primary published literature on a regular basis, then further curated and
standardized to maximize their quality and utility across a wide range of chemical biology
and drug-discovery research problems. Currently, the database contains 5.4 million
bioactivity measurements for more than 1 million compounds and 5200 protein targets …
Abstract
ChEMBL is an Open Data database containing binding, functional and ADMET information for a large number of drug-like bioactive compounds. These data are manually abstracted from the primary published literature on a regular basis, then further curated and standardized to maximize their quality and utility across a wide range of chemical biology and drug-discovery research problems. Currently, the database contains 5.4 million bioactivity measurements for more than 1 million compounds and 5200 protein targets. Access is available through a web-based interface, data downloads and web services at: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembldb.
