Abstract

A database comprising about 1,500 drugs clinically used in Japan has been constructed aiming to mine the information regarding essential chemical characteristics suitable for drugs. The ring systems and functional groups observed in drugs have been extracted and compiled into a part of the database. Although the relevant information is relatively biased, it would assist drug designers in the selection of chemical scaffolds and functional groups. Copyright 2001 Chem-Bio Informatics Society.
