DATA CHANGES SINCE THE LAST RELEASE

In addition to the regular updates to the Scientific Literature, FDA Orange Book and USP Dictionary of USAN and INN Investigational Drug Names and Clinical Candidates, this release of ChEMBL also includes the following new data:

Patent Bioactivity Data
With funding from the NIH Illuminating the Druggable Genome project (https://commonfund.nih.gov/idg), we have extracted bioactivity data relating to understudied druggable targets from a number of patent documents and added this data to ChEMBL.  

Curated Drug Pharmacokinetic Data
We have manually extracted pharmacokinetic parameters for approved drugs from DailyMed drug labels. 

Drug information from British National Formulary and ATC classification
We have now included compound records for drugs that are in the WHO ATC classification or the British National Formulary (BNF). Currently only BNF drugs that already exist in ChEMBL have been assigned compound records. In future releases we will add new BNF drugs to ChEMBL.

Deposited Data Sets
CO-ADD, The Community for Open Antimicrobial Drug Discovery (http://www.co-add.org), is a global open-access screening initiative launched in February 2015 to uncover significant and rich chemical diversity held outside of corporate screening collections. CO-ADD provides unencumbered free antimicrobial screening for any interested academic researcher.  CO-ADD has been recognised as a novel approach in the fight against superbugs by the Wellcome Trust, who have provided funding through their Strategic Awards initiative. Open Source Malaria (OSM) is aimed at finding new medicines for malaria using open source drug discovery, where all data and ideas are freely shared, there are no barriers to participation, and no restriction by patents. The initial set of deposited data from the CO-ADD project consists of OSM compounds screened in CO-ADD assays (DOI = 10.6019/CHEMBL3832881).

Modelled on the Malaria Box, the MMV Pathogen Box contains 400 diverse, drug-like molecules active against neglected diseases of interest and is available free of charge (http://www.pathogenbox.org). The Pathogen Box compounds are supplied in 96-well plates, containing 10​uL of a 10mM dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution of each compound. Upon request, researchers around the world will receive a Pathogen Box of molecules to help catalyse neglected disease drug discovery. In return, researchers are asked to share any data generated in the public domain within 2 years, creating an open and collaborative forum for neglected diseases drug research. The initial set of assay data provided by MMV has now been included in ChEMBL (DOI = 10.6019/CHEMBL3832761).


FORTHCOMING CHANGES

Schema changes will be made in ChEMBL_24 to accommodate more complex data types. Details of these changes will be released soon. Please follow the ChEMBL blog or sign up to the ChEMBL announce mailing list for details (http://listserver.ebi.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/chembl-announce)

Changes will also be made in ChEMBL_24 to the way some of the physicochemical properties are calculated. Details of these changes will be announced soon.


Funding acknowledgements:

Work contributing to ChEMBL_23 was funded by the Wellcome Trust, EMBL Member States, Open Targets, National Institutes of Health (NIH) Common Fund, EU Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) and EU Framework 7 programmes. Please see https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/funding for more details.

SureChEMBL Available Now

By
Followers of the ChEMBL group's activities and this blog will be aware of our involvement in the migration of the previously commercially available SureChem chemistry patent system, to a new, free-for-all system, known as SureChEMBL. Today we are very pleased to announce that the migration process is complete and the SureChEMBL website is now online. SureChEMBL provides the research community with the ability to search the patent literature using Lucene-based keyword queries and, much more importantly, chemistry-based queries. If you are not familiar with SureChEMBL, we recommend you review the content of these earlier blogposts here and here . SureChEMBL is a live system, which is continuously extracting chemical entities from the patent literature. The time it takes for a new chemical in the patent literature to become searchable in the SureChEMBL system is 1-2 days (WO patents can sometimes take a bit longer due to an additional reprocessing step). At time of writi

New SureChEMBL announcement

By
(Generated with DALL-E 3 ∙ 30 October 2023 at 1:48 pm) We have some very exciting news to report: the new SureChEMBL is now available! Hooray! What is SureChEMBL, you may ask. Good question! In our portfolio of chemical biology services, alongside our established database of bioactivity data for drug-like molecules ChEMBL , our dictionary of annotated small molecule entities ChEBI , and our compound cross-referencing system UniChem , we also deliver a database of annotated patents! Almost 10 years ago , EMBL-EBI acquired the SureChem system of chemically annotated patents and made this freely accessible in the public domain as SureChEMBL. Since then, our team has continued to maintain and deliver SureChEMBL. However, this has become increasingly challenging due to the complexities of the underlying codebase. We were awarded a Wellcome Trust grant in 2021 to completely overhaul SureChEMBL, with a new UI, backend infrastructure, and new f

ChEMBL & SureChEMBL anniversary symposium

By
  In 2024 we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the first public release of the ChEMBL database as well as the 10th anniversary of SureChEMBL. To recognise this important landmark we are organising a two-day symposium to celebrate the work achieved by ChEMBL and SureChEMBL, and look forward to its future.   Save the date for the ChEMBL 15 Year Symposium October 1-2, 2024     Day one will consist of four workshops, a basic ChEMBL drug design workshop; an advanced ChEMBL workshop (EUbOPEN community workshop); a ChEMBL data deposition workshop; and a SureChEMBL workshop. Day two will consist of a series of talks from invited speakers, a few poster flash talks, a local nature walk, as well as celebratory cake. During the breaks, the poster session will be a great opportunity to catch up with other users and collaborators of the ChEMBL resources and chat to colleagues, co-workers and others to find out more about how the database is being used. Lunch and refreshments will be pro

RDKit, C++ and Jupyter Notebook

By Eloy
Fancy playing with RDKit C++ API without needing to set up a C++ project and compile it? But wait... isn't C++ a compiled programming language? How this can be even possible? Thanks to Cling (CERN's C++ interpreter) and xeus-cling jupyter kernel is possible to use C++ as an intepreted language inside a jupyter notebook! We prepared a simple notebook showing few examples of RDKit functionalities and a docker image in case you want to run it. With the single requirement of docker being installed in your computer you'll be able to easily run the examples following the three steps below: docker pull eloyfelix/rdkit_jupyter_cling docker run -d -p 9999:9999 eloyfelix/rdkit_jupyter_cling open  http://localhost:9999/notebooks/rdkit_cling.ipynb  in a browser
