Drug indications - we have collated indications for FDA approved drugs from a number of sources and provided these using controlled vocabularies/ontologies (MeSH and EFO). Drug metabolism and PK data - we have extracted information on pharmacokinetics and drug metabolic pathways from Drug Metabolism and Disposition journal, FDA approval packages and a variety of other sour...
