Aim:
Providing compound data sets for promiscuity analysis with single-target (ST) and multi-target (MT) activity, taking confirmed inactivity against targets into account.
Methodology:
Compounds and target annotations are extracted from screening assays. For a given combination of targets, MT and ST compounds are identified, ensuring test data completeness.
Exemplary Results & Data:
A total of 1242 MT compounds active against five or more targets and 6629 corresponding ST compounds are characterized, organized and made freely available.
Limitations & Next Steps:
Screening campaigns typically cover a smaller target space than compounds from the medicinal chemistry literature and their activity annotations might be of lesser quality. Reported compound groups will be subjected to target set-based promiscuity analysis and predictions.

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
