When to Use

  • Find candidate compounds by name or synonym (e.g., searching for “aspirin”) and retrieve their ChEMBL records.
  • Filter molecules by physicochemical properties (e.g., molecular weight, LogP) to narrow down drug-like candidates.
  • Look up targets (proteins/complexes) and connect them to ligands and known bioactivity measurements.
  • Retrieve bioactivity data (e.g., IC50, Ki, EC50) for specific compound–target interactions to support SAR or benchmarking.
  • Identify approved drugs and fetch mechanism-of-action information for target validation or competitive landscape analysis.

Key Features

  • Molecule search by preferred name and other metadata fields.
  • Property-based filtering (e.g., MW, LogP) using ChEMBL API filter syntax.
  • Structure-aware querying via SMILES (where supported by the API/client).
  • Target lookup and navigation between targets, molecules, and activities.
  • Bioactivity retrieval for common endpoints (IC50, Ki, EC50) and related assay context.
  • Access to drug-related records, including mechanism information for approved drugs.
