Examples of recent chemoinformatic profiling of natural products (NPs) data sets.
| Data Set | Goal and Approach | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| 454 NP from Panama. | Build and characterize the contents and diversity of a NP collection from Panama. Comparison with NP from other geographical regions. | [24,25] |
| 560 cyanobacteria metabolites (freshwater and marine). | Quantify the distribution of drug-like properties; measure the diversity using properties, molecular fingerprints, and molecular scaffolds. | [26] |
| 209,574 compounds from the Universal Natural Products Database and other NPs. | Comparative analysis of molecular complexity diversity based on physicochemical properties, molecular scaffolds and fingerprints. Comparison with drugs approved for clinical use. | [23,27] |
| 209,574 compounds from the Universal Natural Products Database, 423 molecules from BIOFACQUIM and other NPs. | Comparative analysis of the acid/based profile of NP from different sources. Comparison with drugs approved for clinical use and food chemicals. | [28] |
| 503 NPs from Mexico collected in the BIOFACQUIM database. | Diversity analysis based on different molecular representations and ADME/Tox profiling. | [29,30] |
| 578 compounds from honey bee and stingless bee propolis. | Analysis of chemical space, chemical diversity, and scaffold content. | [31] |
| 897 metabolites from the Seaweed Metabolite Database (SWMD). | Diversity analysis based on different molecular representations. | [32] |
| 1870 compounds from the Eastern Africa Natural Product Database (EANPDB). | Quantification of scaffold diversity and profiling of drug-likeness and ADME/Tox properties. | [19] |
| NPs from four NP data sets: phytochemica, SerpentinaDB, SANCDB, and NuBBEDB. | In silico profiling of ADME/Tox properties. | [33] |
| 6524 NPs originating from about 3300 producer streptomycetes strains | In addition to names and molecular structures of the compounds, information about source organisms, references, biological role, activities, synthesis routes, scaffolds, physicochemical properties, and predicted ADMET properties is included. | [34] |
