What is ChEMBL?
• Open access database for drug discovery• Freely available (searchable and downloadable) • Content:
• 2D structures & calculated properties (logP, MW, Lipinski, etc.) • Associated bioactivity data extracted from the primary medicinal
chemistry journals such as J. Med. Chem.• Deposited data from neglected disease screening (e.g. malaria)• Subset of data from PubChem
• Covers ~30 years of compound synthesis and testing • Annotated FDA-approved drugs• Secure searching (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembldb )

ChEMBL Database• Content

Assays are classified as:• Binding measurements• Functional assays• ADME/toxicity data
60% proteins
20% organisms
20% cell lines

ChEMBL Assays – Binding, Functional, ADMET
Binding Assays• Assays which directly measure the binding of a
compound to a particular target• E.g., competition binding assays with a radioligand
• Various endpoints measured, but most commonly reported are:• IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration)• Ki (binding affinity)• MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration)• % Inhibition (of activity)
4
Functional Assays
Whole organism assays
(e.g., anti-infectives/parasitics)
Disease-derived cell-line
(e.g., human ovarian cancer cell line cytotoxicity)
Tissue or cell-based disease model
(e.g., glucose uptake by adipocytes)
Tissue or cell-based assay for target effect
(e.g., contraction of guinea-pig ileum)
Cell-based assay over-expressing target
(e.g., GPCR calcium mobilisation)
Target association
Disease association
5
ADMET Assays
• Assays measuring: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, Toxicity properties of compounds
• Examples include:• Half-life of compound in rats• Tissue distribution of compound• Levels of metabolites
6
ChEMBL Targets:
Protein Protein complex Protein family Nucleic Acid
e.g., Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor e.g., Muscarinic receptors
Cell Line Tissue Sub-cellular Fraction Organism
e.g., DNA
e.g., Mitochondriae.g., Nervouse.g., HEK293 cells e.g., Drosophila
e.g., PDE5
7
Protein Targets
• Each protein target linked to a sequence in UniProt• Information from UniProt used in ChEMBL to allow
searching:• Protein name/description• Synonyms and gene names• Organism (and NCBI Tax ID)
• Proteins in ChEMBL also classified according to family (e.g., Receptor, Kinase, Protease, Transporter etc).• Used for searching by target tree (Browse Targets)
8
ChEMBL Compounds
• Chemical structures are stored as .mol files• If the stereochemistry is known it is drawn as a specific
enantiomer
• Identifying unique compounds is done using standard Inchis• Salts and parent molecules are grouped together for
displaying bioactivity data although activity data is recorded against the specific salt
9
• Tautomers of the same compound are treated as the same compound. The form shown is as in the paper

ChemSpider Links:
20
The link works both ways. They link TO ChemSpider and FROM ChemSpider.
They link on Standard_Inchi
Wikipedia Links:
21
We also have links with Wikipedia. These also use the Standard_Inchi as the common identifier. These links will link to the Compound Report Card in ChEMBL.
The links are added by a ChemoBot and can be updated with each release, if required.
Use Case 1 - Searching by Target
• What is known about chemical structures that bind to a specific protein (Adenosine A2a)?
• What is known about their potency/selectivity/ADMET Properties
• Is there any protein structure data?

Use Case 2 – Searching by Structure
• What compounds contain a particular substructure?
• What is known about their bioactivities?
• Known drugs/clinical Trials

Use Case 3 – Similar Targets
• Are there any available data on compounds that bind to proteins similar to IRAK2?
• For these compounds what bioactivity data is there on compounds with related sub-structures?
• Is there any crystal structure data on these proteins?
38
Protein Sequence Search
• More precise method for identifying targets
• Input is a protein sequence of interest
• Uses BLAST* algorithm to perform pair-wise comparisons between input sequence and all proteins in the Target Dictionary, to find most closely related matches
• Results are scored according to similarity to input sequence (determined by number of amino acids that are identical or have similar properties)
*Altschul SF et al., J Mol Biol. 215(3), p403-10 (1990)39
Data on IRAK1,IRAK3 and IRAK4 but not IRAK2
Use Case 3 – Similar Targets
Protein Sequence of Interest e.g from UniProthttp://www.uniprot.org
40
IRAK1, IRAK3 and IRAK4 data
Identify sub-structure of interestWhat other data available on compounds with this sub-structure?
41
Use Case 4 - Assay keyword search
• Some ChEMBL data (e.g., functional assays) may not be mapped against molecular targets
• May want to perform a more general search (e.g., for a disease process, animal model, cell type of interest)
• Examples:1. What compounds have been tested in disease models (cholesterol
lowering)?
2. What data is available for brain penetration (brain to plasma ratio)?
