The ChEMBL database in 2017.

Nucleic acids research | 2017

ChEMBL is an open large-scale bioactivity database (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl), previously described in the 2012 and 2014 Nucleic Acids Research Database Issues. Since then, alongside the continued extraction of data from the medicinal chemistry literature, new sources of bioactivity data have also been added to the database. These include: deposited data sets from neglected disease screening; crop protection data; drug metabolism and disposition data and bioactivity data from patents. A number of improvements and new features have also been incorporated. These include the annotation of assays and targets using ontologies, the inclusion of targets and indications for clinical candidates, addition of metabolic pathways for drugs and calculation of structural alerts. The ChEMBL data can be accessed via a web-interface, RDF distribution, data downloads and RESTful web-services.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (tool)

RRID:SCR_012945

An agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one of the United States federal executive departments that is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs (medications), vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices (ERED), cosmetics and veterinary products. The FDA also enforces other laws, notably Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and associated regulations, many of which are not directly related to food or drugs. These include sanitation requirements on interstate travel and control of disease on products ranging from certain household pets to sperm donation for assisted reproduction. (Wikipedia)

Cellosaurus (tool)

RRID:SCR_013869

Database of all cell lines used in biomedical research which include immortalized cell lines, naturally immortal cell lines (stem cells), widely used and distributed finite life cell lines, vertebrate cell lines (majority being human, mouse, and rat), and invertebrate (insects and ticks) cell lines, as well as cell line synonyms. Each cell line is provided with the following information: the recommended name (the name which appears in the original publication), a list of synonyms, a unique accession number, comments on a number of topics including misspellings and gene transfection, information on the tissue/organ origin with the UBERON code, the NCI Thesaurus or Orphanet ORDO code for the disease(s) the individual suffered from (for cancer and human genetic disease lines only), the species of origin, the parent cell line, cross-references of sister cell lines, the sex of the individual, the category in which the cell line belongs (Adult stem cell; Cancer cell line; Embryonic stem cell; Factor-dependent cell line; Finite cell line; Hybrid cell line; Hybridoma; Induced pluripotent stem cell; Spontaneously immortalized cell line; Stromal cell line; Telomerase immortalized cell line; Transformed cell line; Undefined cell line type), web links, publication references, and/or cross-references to cell line catalogs/collections, ontologies, cell lines databases/resources, and to databases that list cell lines as samples.
