Abstract:
Public repositories containing compound-bioactivity data for millions of small molecules offer a valuable resource for chemogenomic compound candidate search. Nonetheless, owning to nonuniform data mining, these databases are often incomplete, thus advocating the combined use of data from several repositories to increase target coverage and data accuracy. Here, we present a workflow to generate custom datasets from public databases for mining chemogenomic compound candidates. The compiled set provides flags for differences in structural and bioactivity data and enables rapid extraction of potent and selective bioactive compounds.
