The Drug Bank database is a unique bioinformatics and resource that combines detailed drug data with comprehensive drug target information such as sequence, structure, and pathway. Because of its broad scope, comprehensive referencing and unusually detailed data descriptions, Drug Bank is more akin to a drug encyclopedia than a drug database.
Drug Bank is widely used by the drug industry, medicinal chemists, pharmacists, physicians, students and the general public. Its extensive drug and drug-target data has enabled the discovery and repurposing of a number of existing drugs to treat rare and newly identified illnesses.
Currently, the database contains 7759 drug entries including 1600 FDA-approved small molecule drugs, 160 FDA-approved biotech drugs, 89 nutraceuticals and over 6000 experimental drugs. Additionally, 4282 non-redundant protein sequences are linked to these drug entries. Each DrugCard entry contains more than 200 data fields with half of the information being devoted to drug/chemical data and the other half devoted to drug target or protein data.
