PubChem promiscuity: a web resource for gathering compound promiscuity data from PubChem

Bioinformatics. 2012 Jan 1;28(1):140-1. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btr622. Epub 2011 Nov 13.

Abstract

Summary: Promiscuity counts allow for a better understanding of a compound's assay activity profile and drug potential. Although PubChem contains a vast amount of compound and assay data, it currently does not have a convenient or efficient method to obtain in-depth promiscuity counts for compounds. PubChem promiscuity fills this gap. It is a Java servlet that uses NCBI Entrez (eUtils) web services to interact with PubChem and provide promiscuity counts in a variety of categories along with compound descriptors, including PAINS-based functional group detection.
