About DrugBank
DrugBank is the world’s largest knowledge base of structured pharmaceutical data, enabling data-driven decision-making in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and medical spaces. By using DrugBank, companies and researchers can more efficiently discover or repurpose new drugs, and improve treatments for patients. The core of DrugBank’s knowledge base consists of proprietary authored content describing the clinical level information about drugs such as side effects, drug interactions, as well as molecular level data such as chemical structures, metabolism, and what proteins a drug interacts with.
Since the COVID-19 crisis began DrugBank has been cited in over fifty-five research papers looking at novel therapies for COVID-19, and has seen an increase of over 6000% in individuals searching terms on www.drugbank.ca related to novel candidates for the virus. The number of monthly requests from academic groups requesting to use DrugBank for research has skyrocketed from 250 per week to more than 500 per week, and DrugBank is also being used as a core resource for dozens of research platforms around the globe, including the recently launched COVID-19 ‘Deep Search’ Knowledge Graph from IBM.
As an evidence-based pharmaceutical technology company, DrugBank is keen to assist in finding a treatment for the virus, and has released a research white paper summarizing the current status of drug repurposing being completed by companies around the world.
