tetracycline	A naphthacene antibiotic that inhibits AMINO ACYL TRNA binding during protein synthesis.
metronidazole	A nitroimidazole used to treat AMEBIASIS; VAGINITIS; TRICHOMONAS INFECTIONS; GIARDIASIS; ANAEROBIC BACTERIA; and TREPONEMAL INFECTIONS.
bismuth subcitrate	contains tripotassium di-citratobismuthate used in gastric & duodenal ulcer therapy; do not confuse with colloidal bismuth subnitrate
doxycycline	A synthetic tetracycline derivative with similar antimicrobial activity.
minocycline	A TETRACYCLINE analog, having a 7-dimethylamino and lacking the 5 methyl and hydroxyl groups, which is effective against tetracycline-resistant STAPHYLOCOCCUS infections.
omadacycline	Omadacycline is an aminomethylcycline antibacterial within the tetracycline class of antibacterial drugs. Omadacycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocks protein synthesis. Omadacycline is active in vitro against Gram positive bacteria expressing tetracycline resistance active efflux pumps (tetK and tet L) and ribosomal protection proteins (tet M). In general, omadacycline is considered bacteriostatic; however, omadacycline has demonstrated bactericidal activity against some isolates of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae.
lymecycline	A semisynthetic antibiotic related to TETRACYCLINE. It is more readily absorbed than TETRACYCLINE and can be used in lower doses.
demeclocycline	The tetracyclines are primarily bacteriostatic and are thought to exert their antimicrobial effect by the inhibition of protein synthesis. The tetracyclines, including demeclocycline have a similar antimicrobial spectrum of activity against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive organisms.
oxytetracycline	A TETRACYCLINE analog isolated from the actinomycete STREPTOMYCES RIMOSUS and used in a wide variety of clinical conditions.
rolitetracycline	A pyrrolidinylmethyl TETRACYCLINE.
chlortetracycline	A TETRACYCLINE with a 7-chloro substitution.
eravacycline dihydrochloride	Eravacycline is a fluorocycline antibacterial within the tetracycline class of antibacterial drugs. Eravacycline disrupts bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit thus preventing the incorporation of amino acid residues into elongating peptide chains.
metacycline	A broad-spectrum semisynthetic antibiotic related to TETRACYCLINE but excreted more slowly and maintaining effective blood levels for a more extended period.
sancycline
tigecycline	Tigecycline inhibits protein translation in bacteria by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocking entry of amino-acyl tRNA molecules into the A site of the ribosome. This prevents incorporation of amino acid residues into elongating peptide chains. In general, tigecycline is considered bacteriostatic; however, tigecycline has demonstrated bactericidal activity against isolates of S. pneumoniae and L. pneumophila.
sarecycline	The mechanism of action of sarecycline in treating acne vulgaris is not known.
clomocycline
penimepicycline
guamecycline
meclocycline

DrugCentral Search Overview

Drug search example:

Generic drug names, drug synonyms, trade names terms can be used to search for drugs. Example search for Lipitor can query using either “Atorvastatin” or “Lipitor”.A comprehensive list of drug development codes and salt or ester forms are also stored in the database and can be used as search terms, for example search for "rosuvastatin" the following terms can be used: "rosuvastatin calcium" or "ZD4522".

Disease search example:

Supported disease terms are SNOMED-CT and OMOP vocabulary terms. Disease annotations for drugs approved before 2012 originate from OMOP vocabulary mappings. For drugs approved after 2012 disease annotations are extracted manually from approved drug labels and mapped to SNOMED-CT concepts.

Example search for “Chronic Hepatitis C” returns the list of antiviral drugs indicated to treat “Chronic Hepatitis C” followed by drugs contra-indicated in hepatitis C.

New! Substructure Search:
The current update supports chemical substructure searching. Typing a SMILES string in the DrugCentral Substructure search bar launches a chemical substructure search that finds matching compounds in DrugCentral. E.g., N1cnccc1 . SMILES strings can be located on all Drug Cards under "Description".

New! FDA Adverse Event Reporting System:
The 2021 DrugCentral update, we separately calculated FAERS for men and women to enable research on sex differences in drug safety. The 2022 version goes further by computing adverse drug event scores granulated by age: pediatric data (FAERS_PED) covers patients from 1 day to 17 years, and geriatric data (FAERS_GER) focuses on elderly patients over 65 years of age, respectively. Female, Male, Geriatric & Pediatrics. E.g., amfetamine

New! Target Cards:
To perform a target card search enter a Uniprot target Accession ID e.g., P23975. The target cards depict the "Accession", "Swissprot", "Organism", "Gene" & "Target class" followed by "Drug relations" where the drugs "Bioactivity mechanism-of-actions" are identified.

Target search example:

Supported target search terms are HUGO gene symbols, Uniprot accessions and target names, and Swissprot identifiers. Example search for drugs targeting Mu-type opioid receptor can be run using either of the terms: “OPRM1”, P35372, “OPRM_HUMAN”, full or partial Uniprot target name. Returned drugs are ranked using the following criteria: top ranked drugs have mechanism of action target Mu-type opioid receptor, next in the list are drugs with potencies measured against this receptor.

In collaboration with the IDG

New! Veterinary Drugs, Uses & Products:

Drug Central now contains Veterinary Drugs, Uses & Products. The current update adds 1805 bioactivities for 226 veterinary drugs and 804 targets. DrugCentral veterinary data contains application numbers and types, trade names, applicant names, and prescription types for 1492 drug products as referenced in FDA’s Green Book. DrugCentral currently holds 1664 indications (pairs of drug and concept names) for 34 species. Dogs, cattle, and cats sum up to 63% of the indications covered by 193 veterinary drugs. Veterinary Drug Use can be found on each drug card by selecting the sub menu link: 🐶 Veterinary Use on the drug card. E.g., enrofloxacin

Pharmacologic action search example:

Supported pharmacologic action terms are MeSH, FDA [EPC, MoA, PE], ChEBI action roles.

Example search for “HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor” FDA EPC term for statin drugs returns list of all statin drugs classified by FDA as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.

Ranked result list is annotated with 4 level ranking system ordered from highest to lowest:

A - query term matched drug name or synonyms, mechanism of action target, or drug indication.

B - query term matched disease term in drug contraindications or off-label uses, targets listed in drug bioactivity profiles (not MoA targets), or pharmacologic action descriptions.

C - query term matched short drug description text.

D - query term matched full text in FDA drug labels.
