FAQ: I've done some virtual screening using chembl, can you send me the compounds?

We do not have physical samples of any of the compounds in chembl, so we cannot supply any samples to you. Sorry. If you want to obtain samples of chembl compounds you do have a number of options: 1) Often the underlying literature contains a synthetic route and reagents for the compounds, this greatly helps resynthesis. 2) About 5-10% of chembl compounds are reported to be available from compound vendors (for example, you could search databases such as the excellent ZINC to find available compounds). However, the turnover of stock from compound vendors is quite high, and often a significant fraction of compounds reported to be available for purchase will be out of stock when you want them.
