The measurement of cell-based molecular bioactivity (CMB) is critical for almost every step of drug development. With the booming application of AI in biomedicine, it is essential to have the CMB data to promote the learning of cell-based patterns for guiding modern drug discovery, but no database providing such information has been constructed yet. In this study, we introduce MolBiC, a knowledge base designed to describe valuable data on molecular bioactivity measured within a cellular context. MolBiC features 550 093 experimentally validated CMBs, encompassing 321 086 molecules and 2666 targets across 988 cell lines. Our MolBiC database is unique in describing the valuable data of CMB, which meets the critical demands for CMB-based big data promoting the learning of cell-based molecular/pharmaceutical pattern in drug discovery and development.

The escalating costs and high failure rates have decelerated the pace of drug development, which amplifies the research interests in developing combinatorial/repurposed drugs and understanding off-target adverse drug reaction (ADR). In other words, it is demanded to delineate the molecular atlas and pharma-information for the combinatorial/repurposed drugs and off-target interactions. However, such invaluable data were inadequately covered by existing databases. In this study, a major update was thus conducted to the DrugMAP, which accumulated (a) 20831 combinatorial drugs and their interacting atlas involving 1583 pharmacologically important molecules; (b) 842 repurposed drugs and their interacting atlas with 795 molecules; (c) 3260 off-targets relevant to the ADRs of 2731 drugs and (d) various types of pharmaceutical information, including diverse ADMET properties, versatile diseases, and various ADRs/off-targets. With the growing demands for discovering combinatorial/repurposed therapies and the rapidly emerging interest in AI-based drug discovery, DrugMAP was highly expected to act as an indispensable supplement to existing databases facilitating drug discovery, which was accessible at: https://idrblab.org/drugmap/., (© The Author(s) 2024.

Drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) are critical determinant of drug safety and efficacy, and the interactome of DMEs has attracted extensive attention. There are 3 major interaction types in an interactome: microbiome-DME interaction (MICBIO), xenobiotics-DME interaction (XEOTIC) and host protein-DME interaction (HOSPPI). The interaction data of each type are essential for drug metabolism, and the collective consideration of multiple types has implication for the future practice of precision medicine. However, no database was designed to systematically provide the data of all types of DME interactions. Here, a database of the Interactome of Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes (INTEDE) was therefore constructed to offer these interaction data. First, 1047 unique DMEs (448 host and 599 microbial) were confirmed, for the first time, using their metabolizing drugs. Second, for these newly confirmed DMEs, all types of their interactions (3359 MICBIOs between 225 microbial species and 185 DMEs; 47 778 XEOTICs between 4150 xenobiotics and 501 DMEs; 7849 HOSPPIs between 565 human proteins and 566 DMEs) were comprehensively collected and then provided, which enabled the crosstalk analysis among multiple types. Because of the huge amount of accumulated data, the INTEDE made it possible to generalize key features for revealing disease etiology and optimizing clinical treatment.
