New text filter on the ChEMBL interface

By




A new text filter has been added to the search results and the 'Browse' pages of the interface. This filter is shown as a small search bar at the top-right of tables and card pages. It can be used as a simple and fast way to filter a set of items.

The filter appends a new query to the current query to match the term entered with all the available fields that are non-numeric. It is based on the Querystring query of Elasticsearch, so wildcards can be used in the search box.

To see an example of how it works, you can follow these steps:

  • Go to the Browse Drugs page: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/g/#browse/drugs
  • Use the filters to the left to select only Phase 4 drugs with no Rule of Five violations:

  •  Enter the term '*antibacterial*' on the search box and click on the search button:

  • It will match the term on the following fields:
Parent Molecule ChEMBL ID, Synonyms, Research Codes, Applicants, USAN Stem, ATC Codes, USAN Stem Definition, USAN Stem Substem, Level 4 ATC Codes, Level 3 ATC Codes, Level 2 ATC Codes, Level 1 ATC Codes, Indication Class, Patent, Withdrawn Reason, Withdrawn Country, Withdrawn Class, Smiles.

You will see the resulting drugs on your screen:



If you show all the available columns (by clicking on 'Show/Hide Columns') you will see the matches for the term that was entered on the search box (You can use the text finder function of your browser to locate them):



By clicking on the 'clear' button, the term will be reset and the filter will be removed from the query.

The filter is available for the search results and the following pages:

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

Improved querying for SureChEMBL

By
    Dear SureChEMBL users, Earlier this year we ran a survey to identify what you, the users, would like to see next in SureChEMBL. Thank you for offering your feedback! This gave us the opportunity to have some interesting discussions both internally and externally. While we can't publicly reveal precisely our plans for the coming months (everything will be delivered at the right time), we can at least say that improving the compound structure extraction quality is a priority. Unfortunately, the change won't happen overnight as reprocessing 167 millions patents takes a while. However, the good news is that the new generation of optical chemical structure recognition shows good performance, even for patent images! We hope we can share our results with you soon. So in the meantime, what are we doing? You may have noticed a few changes on the SureChEMBL main page. No more "Beta" flag since we consider the system to be stable enough (it does not mean that you will never

ChEMBL brings drug bioactivity data to the Protein Data Bank in Europe

By
In the quest to develop new drugs, understanding the 3D structure of molecules is crucial. Resources like the Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe) and the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) provide these 3D blueprints for many biological molecules. However, researchers also need to know how these molecules interact with their biological target – their bioactivity. ChEMBL is a treasure trove of bioactivity data for countless drug-like molecules. It tells us how strongly a molecule binds to a target, how it affects a biological process, and even how it might be metabolized. But here's the catch: while ChEMBL provides extensive information on a molecule's activity and cross references to other data sources, it doesn't always tell us if a 3D structure is available for a specific drug-target complex. This can be a roadblock for researchers who need that structural information to design effective drugs. Therefore, connecting ChEMBL data with resources like PDBe and CSD is essen

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
