Available compound queries in TDR targets
Query group | Data types available for querying |
---|---|
Text-based searches | |
Names & Annotations | Compound names or synonyms; Database identifiers (e.g. ChEMBL, PubChem); InCHI and InCHI key identifiers |
Chemical Properties | Molecular weight; LogP octanol/water partition coefficient; number of H donors and acceptors, number of flexible bonds and number of matching Ro5 (Lipinski) |
Compound formula | Search by compounds containing a specific number (e.g. 3) of defined atoms (e.g. Cl, F, Br, N) |
Bioactivity | Text search on assay descriptions; numerical search for values in assays (e.g. IC50 < 5 μM) |
Orphan compounds | Search for compounds that have bioactivity reports in whole-organism or whole-cell assays but lack target and mechanism information (orphans inhibitor/drugs) |
Compounds with targets | Find compounds that have target information and mechanism based assays |
Structure-based searches | |
Compound similarity | Draw/paste compound or fragment 2D structure and search for similar compounds. Search is based on matching of chemical fingerprints |
Compound substructure | Draw/paste compound or fragment 2D structure and search for compounds in the database that contain the query fragment. |
