Structure External Links

New! The structure external links datasets are CSV files which include structure information in the form of InChI/InChI Key/SMILES as well as identifiers for other drug-structure resources (such as ChEBI, ChEMBL, etc.). Included in each dataset is also the PubChem Compound ID (CID) and the particular PubChem Substance ID (SID) for the given DrugBank record.

Protein identifiers include external IDs to resources such as UniProt and PDB.These downloads are divided first by protein/compound type (target, transporter, etc.). Secondly they are divided by drug group (approved, illicit, etc.). Each archive contains 2 files: one for all target/enzyme/transporter/carriers and one with only those marked as pharmacologically active (directly related to the mechanism of action for at least one of the associated drugs).

Note that each row in the export CSV file also includes a concatenated list of DrugBank drugs IDs (semi-colon delimited) as the last column.
