ChEMBL_08 Released

We are pleased to announce the release of chembl_08. This version of the ChEMBL database was prepared 26th October 2010 and contains:

735393 compound records
636269 compounds (of which 635933 have molfiles)
488898 assays
2973034 activities
8088 targets
38462 publications
5 activity data sources

You can also download the ChEMBL database (Oracle 9i, 10g, 11g or MySQL) from our ftp site: ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/chembl/ChEMBLdb/latest/. Changes to the database (please see release notes for more detail):

FDA approved drugs have now been added to the compounds table*. Some drugs (e.g., biotherapeutics) do not have a structure/molfile, and not all drugs have bioactivity data associated with them. Further information for these drugs (e.g., mechanism of action) will be added in subsequent releases.
Parent compounds have been generated by removing the salt component from any compounds tested as a salt form. Both the parents and the salt forms are recorded in the compounds table and a new table: molecule_hierarchy shows the relationship between them.
ChEMBL identifiers (chembl_id) have been added to the compounds, target_dictionary, assays and docs tables. These take the form 'CHEMBL' followed immediately by an integer (e.g., CHEMBL941) and are used on the interface. Small molecules within the database will still have a ChEBI ID, and protein targets a UniProt accession, in addition.

You can access the data via the ChEMBL database interface: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembldb/index.php. Changes to the interface:

The interface now uses chembl_id for compounds, assays and targets. Old URLs (e.g., using chebi_id/assay_id/tid) will continue to work, however we recommend using the chembl_id when linking to the ChEMBL interface.
The compound, target and assay report card pages now include interactive pie charts to allow users to link to related data sets in the ChEMBL database e.g. https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembldb/index.php/compound/inspect/CHEMBL41
Compound report card page has been updated to include the drug icons, for FDA approved molecules* in ChEMBL e.g. https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembldb/index.php/compound/inspect/CHEMBL941

The ChEMBL Team *The identification and loading of the FDA approved compounds in the ChEMBL database is part of a larger process of integrating drug and clinical candidate information into the ChEMBL database. This process has not not been completed, so please expect enhancements to the underlying schema and interface in future releases of the ChEMBL database.

SureChEMBL Available Now

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

(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

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

ChEMBL 34 is out!

We are delighted to announce the release of ChEMBL 34, which includes a full update to drug and clinical candidate drug data. This version of the database, prepared on 28/03/2024 contains: 2,431,025 compounds (of which 2,409,270 have mol files) 3,106,257 compound records (non-unique compounds) 20,772,701 activities 1,644,390 assays 15,598 targets 89,892 documents Data can be downloaded from the ChEMBL FTP site: https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/chembl/ChEMBLdb/releases/chembl_34/ Please see ChEMBL_34 release notes for full details of all changes in this release: https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/chembl/ChEMBLdb/releases/chembl_34/chembl_34_release_notes.txt New Data Sources European Medicines Agency (src_id = 66): European Medicines Agency's data correspond to EMA drugs prior to 20 January 2023 (excluding vaccines). 71 out of the 882 newly added EMA drugs are only authorised by EMA, rather than from other regulatory bodies e.g.

RDKit, C++ and Jupyter Notebook

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
