ChEMBL 26 Released

By


We are pleased to announce the release of ChEMBL_26

This version of the database, prepared on 10/01/2020 contains:

  • 2,425,876 compound records
  • 1,950,765 compounds (of which 1,940,733 have mol files)
  • 15,996,368 activities
  • 1,221,311 assays
  • 13,377 targets
  • 76,076 documents
You can query the ChEMBL 26 data online via the ChEMBL Interface and you can also download the data from the ChEMBL FTP site. Please see ChEMBL_26 release notes for full details of all changes in this release.

Changes since the last release:

* Deposited Data Sets:

CO-ADD antimicrobial screening data:
Two new data sets have been included from the Community for Open Access Drug Discovery (CO-ADD). These data sets are screening of the NIH NCI Natural Product Set III in the CO-ADD assays (src_id = 40, Document ChEMBL_ID = CHEMBL4296183, DOI = 10.6019/CHEMBL4296183) and screening of the NIH NCI Diversity Set V in the CO-ADD assays (src_id = 40, Document ChEMBL_ID = CHEMBL4296182, DOI = 10.6019/CHEMBL4296182).

HESI - Evaluation of the utility of stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes for drug proarrhythmic potential (src_id = 49, Document ChEMBL_ID = CHEMBL4295262 , DOI = 10.6019/CHEMBL4295262). Summary assay results for this data set have been included in ChEMBL_26 and further supplementary data will be added in ChEMBL_27.

* Changes to structure-processing and compound properties:
We are now using RDKit for almost all of our compound-related processing. For the first time in ChEMBL_26, this will include compound standardization, salt-stripping, generation of canonical smiles, structural alerts, image depiction, substructure searches and similarity searches (via FPSim2: https://github.com/chembl/FPSim2). Therefore, all molecules have been reprocessed and you may notice some differences in molfiles, smiles and structure search results compared with previous releases. The ChEMBL structure curation pipeline has been released as an open source package: https://github.com/chembl/ChEMBL_Structure_Pipeline, and incorporated into our Beaker web services (see below). More information can be found here: http://chembl.blogspot.com/2020/02/chembl-compound-curation-pipeline.html.

We are also now using ChemAxon tools to calculate most acidic and basic pKa, logP and logD (pH 7.4) predictions, rather than ACDLabs software. These properties have therefore been recalculated and renamed in the database.

* Target Predictions:
Target predictions in ChEMBL are now generated by a new method, using conformal prediction (https://jcheminf.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13321-018-0325-4). A docker image is available for those wishing to use the models locally: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/chembl/mcp (see https://chembl.blogspot.com/2020/01/new-chembl-ligand-based-target.html for more information). We also plan to provide a new target prediction web service in the future. The current target prediction web service (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/data/target_prediction/) has now been deprecated.

* Updated Data Sets:
Scientific Literature
Patent Bioactivity Data
Orange Book
USP Dictionary of USAN and International Drug Names
Clinical Candidates
WHO Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification
British National Formulary
Manually Added Drugs

Here's a nice Christmas gift - ChEMBL 35 is out!

By
Use your well-deserved Christmas holidays to spend time with your loved ones and explore the new release of ChEMBL 35!            This fresh release comes with a wealth of new data sets and some new data sources as well. Examples include a total of 14 datasets deposited by by the ASAP ( AI-driven Structure-enabled Antiviral Platform) project, a new NTD data se t by Aberystwyth University on anti-schistosome activity, nine new chemical probe data sets, and seven new data sets for the Chemogenomic library of the EUbOPEN project. We also inlcuded a few new fields that do impr ove the provenance and FAIRness of the data we host in ChEMBL:  1) A CONTACT field has been added to the DOCs table which should contain a contact profile of someone willing to be contacted about details of the dataset (ideally an ORCID ID; up to 3 contacts can be provided). 2) In an effort to provide more detailed information about the source of a deposited dat...

Improvements in SureChEMBL's chemistry search and adoption of RDKit

By Eloy
    Dear SureChEMBL users, If you frequently rely on our "chemistry search" feature, today brings great news! We’ve recently implemented a major update that makes your search experience faster than ever. What's New? Last week, we upgraded our structure search engine by aligning it with the core code base used in ChEMBL . This update allows SureChEMBL to leverage our FPSim2 Python package , returning results in approximately one second. The similarity search relies on 256-bit RDKit -calculated ECFP4 fingerprints, and a single instance requires approximately 1 GB of RAM to run. SureChEMBL’s FPSim2 file is not currently available for download, but we are considering generating it periodicaly and have created it once for you to try in Google Colab ! For substructure searches, we now also use an RDKit -based solution via SubstructLibrary , which returns results several times faster than our previous implementation. Additionally, structure search results are now sorted by...

A python client for accessing ChEMBL web services

By
Motivation The CheMBL Web Services provide simple reliable programmatic access to the data stored in ChEMBL database. RESTful API approaches are quite easy to master in most languages but still require writing a few lines of code. Additionally, it can be a challenging task to write a nontrivial application using REST without any examples. These factors were the motivation for us to write a small client library for accessing web services from Python. Why Python? We choose this language because Python has become extremely popular (and still growing in use) in scientific applications; there are several Open Source chemical toolkits available in this language, and so the wealth of ChEMBL resources and functionality of those toolkits can be easily combined. Moreover, Python is a very web-friendly language and we wanted to show how easy complex resource acquisition can be expressed in Python. Reinventing the wheel? There are already some libraries providing access to ChEM...
