New ChEMBL-NTD Depositions

We are very pleased to announce the release of two new datasets on the ChEMBL-NTD portal.

The first dataset is provided by the Drug for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) and is focused on the selection and optimization of hits from a high-throughput phenotypic screen against Trypanosoma cruzi. The paper describing the dataset in more detail can be accessed here and the data can be downloaded from here.

The second dataset from the DeRisi Lab UCSF and is focused on the screening of MMVs Malaria Box compounds in Plasmodium falciparum, to understand if anti-malarial compounds target the apicoplast organelle. More details about the dataset can be found here and the data can be downloaded from here.

Both datasets will be loaded into the next version of ChEMBL, which will be due out early next year.

The ChEMBL - Neglected Tropical Disease portal is a repository for Open Access primary screening and medicinal chemistry data directed at neglected diseases. If you would like to deposit your data here please get in contact.

SureChEMBL2.0 announcement

Dear SureChEMBL users, Last year, we asked for your feedback on what you wanted to see next from SureChEMBL. Your input didn’t disappear into the void—quite the opposite! While it may have seemed quiet on the surface, we've been working hard behind the scenes: fixing bugs, implementing new features, and laying the groundwork for major improvements. Today, we’re excited to share that we’ve reached a significant milestone—and we’re marking the occasion with a new name. Without further delay... 🎉 SureChEMBL 2.0 is here! 🎉 This is the first in a series of blog posts describing SureChEMBL 2.0: Introduction to SureChEMBL 2.0 and new data source (see below) Major changes to the download data Integration of RDKit into the processing pipeline Further posts will be added over the next few weeks and linked to from here. What’s New in SureChEMBL 2.0? This release marks a major evolution of the system we inherited over a decade ago. We've...

Download the SureChEMBL2.0 data: major update!

Dear SureChEMBL users, This is our second blog post from our series related to SureChEMBL2.0. If you missed the first one , you should take 5 minutes to read it. We know that for many of you, not being able to download new patent data from SureChEMBL for several months has had a significant impact on your work. Please rest assured that halting the data release was not a decision taken lightly. Continuing to develop on legacy software had reached a breaking point and could no longer be sustained within our current resource constraints. In terms of SureChEMBL downloads, we were previously offering three types, all focused on patent compounds but differing in update frequency and content: MAP files: TSV files released quarterly, listing all compound–patent relationships identified in that period, along with the locations of the compounds within the patents.   Compound data dump: SDF or TXT files, also released quarterly, containing only the compounds found in that perio...

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 ...

Even more RDKit in SureChEMBL2.0!

Dear SureChEMBL users, Welcome to the third blog post in our SureChEMBL2.0 series! If you missed the previous ones [ 1 , 2 ], be sure to check them out when you have a moment. Today, we're diving into what has changed under the hood of SureChEMBL! At the end of last year, we announced the integration of RDKit for compound depiction and various types of chemistry searches. But of course, we didn’t stop there. In line with our goal to simplify the service architecture, but also to improve the data quality, we’ve decided to follow the lead of our sister resource ChEMBL in how we manage compound structures. What’s Changing? SureChEMBL handles compound structures at several stages in the pipeline. Regardless of how a compound is identified in a patent, the first step is to standardise its structure — and we’re now using the ChEMBL standardiser for this. Next, we register compounds using an RDKit-based hash , which helps us avoid introducing duplica...

SureChEMBL gets a facelift

Dear SureChEMBL users, Over the past year, we’ve introduced several updates to the SureChEMBL platform, focusing on improving functionality while maintaining a clean and intuitive design. Even small changes can have a big impact on your experience, and our goal remains the same: to provide high-quality patent annotation with a simple, effective way to find the data you need. What’s Changed? After careful consideration, we’ve redesigned the landing page to make your navigation smoother and more intuitive. From top to bottom: - Announcements Section: Stay up to date with the latest news and updates directly from this blog. Never miss any update! - Enhanced Search Bar: The main search bar is still your go-to for text searches, still with three pre-filter radio buttons to quickly narrow your results without hassle. - Improved Query Assistant: Our query assistant has been redesigned and upgraded to help you craft more precise queries. It now includes five operator options: E...
