ChEMBL Plug-in for StarDrop

Oct 12, 2022

ChEMBL is probably the foremost manually curated database of bioactive molecules with drug-like properties. It brings together chemical, bioactivity and genomic data to aid the translation of genomic information into effective new drugs. This script enables you to search ChEMBL directly from StarDrop, returning the data pre-formatted and ready to use for tasks such as:

  • Identifying potential off-target activities for your compounds
  • Understanding SAR around your compounds or targets
  • Building QSAR models to make predictions for new compounds

The installer file and instructions for how to install and use the script are provided in the following pages…

Please note that any compound structures and target information used in a query will be passed to the ChEMBL servers. These data will be sent using a secure connection (i.e. encrypted and transmitted via HTTPS) and you can view the ChEMBL Data Protection Policy.

Version

Please note: These scripts are compatible with StarDrop 7.3, or more recent versions, for either Windows® or Mac®. To find out which version you have installed, start StarDrop and select the Help->About menu.
