1.6. DrugBank: comprehensive information on drug molecules

        DrugBank^17-19 (http://www.drugbank.ca/) is a comprehensive online database containing biochemical and pharmacological information about ~8,000 drug molecules, including U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved small-molecule drugs and biotech drugs (e.g., protein/peptide drugs) as well as experimental drugs.  DrugBank provides a wide range of drug information, including drug targets, mechanism of action, adverse drug reactions, food-drug and drug-drug interactions, experimental and theoretical ADMET properties (i.e., Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity), and many others.  Most of these data are curated from primary literature sources, by domain-specific experts and skilled biocurators.
