oteracil	Antagonist of urate oxidase.
uridine triphosphate	Uridine 5'-(tetrahydrogen triphosphate). A uracil nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety.
uridine triacetate	Uridine triacetate is an acetylated form of uridine. Following oral administration, uridine triacetate is deacetylated by nonspecific esterases present throughout the body, yielding uridine in the systemic circulation of patients with hereditary orotic aciduria who cannot synthesize adequate quantities of uridine due to a genetic defect in uridine nucleotide synthesis.
brivudine	anti-herpes agent; (Z)-isomer much less active against herpes simplex virus type 1 & somewhat less active against herpes simplex virus type 2 than is the (E)-isomer; both isomers show similar activity against vaccinia virus; RN given refers to (E)-trans-isomer; structure
trifluridine	An antiviral derivative of THYMIDINE used mainly in the treatment of primary keratoconjunctivitis and recurrent epithelial keratitis due to HERPES SIMPLEX virus. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p557)
sorivudine
clevudine
epervudine
tegafur	Congener of FLUOROURACIL with comparable antineoplastic action. It has been suggested especially for the treatment of breast neoplasms.
broxuridine	A nucleoside that substitutes for thymidine in DNA and thus acts as an antimetabolite. It causes breaks in chromosomes and has been proposed as an antiviral and antineoplastic agent. It has been given orphan drug status for use in the treatment of primary brain tumors.
carmofur
doxifluridine
edoxudine
floxuridine	An antineoplastic antimetabolite that is metabolized to fluorouracil when administered by rapid injection; when administered by slow, continuous, intra-arterial infusion, it is converted to floxuridine monophosphate. It has been used to treat hepatic metastases of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas and for palliation in malignant neoplasms of the liver and gastrointestinal tract.
telbivudine	A thymidine derivative and antiviral agent that inhibits DNA synthesis by HEPATITIS B VIRUS and is used for the treatment of CHRONIC HEPATITIS B.
lamivudine	A reverse transcriptase inhibitor and ZALCITABINE analog in which a sulfur atom replaces the 3' carbon of the pentose ring. It is used to treat HIV disease.
sofosbuvir	A uridine monophosphate analog inhibitor of HEPATITIS C VIRUS (HCV) polymerase NS5B that is used as an ANTIVIRAL AGENT in the treatment of CHRONIC HEPATITIS C.
inqovi	Cedazuridine inhibits cytidine deaminase (CDA), an enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of cytidine, including the cytidine analog decitabine (a nucleoside metabolic inhibitor). Because high levels of CDA in the gastrointestinal tract and liver degrade decitabine and limit its oral bioavailability, administration of cedazuridine with decitabine increases systemic exposure of decitabine. Inqovi is a combination of decitabine and cedazuridine for treatment of adult patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
idoxuridine	An analog of DEOXYURIDINE that inhibits viral DNA synthesis. The drug is used as an antiviral agent.
stavudine	A dideoxynucleoside analog that inhibits reverse transcriptase and has in vitro activity against HIV.
zidovudine	A dideoxynucleoside compound in which the 3'-hydroxy group on the sugar moiety has been replaced by an azido group. This modification prevents the formation of phosphodiester linkages which are needed for the completion of nucleic acid chains. The compound is a potent inhibitor of HIV replication, acting as a chain-terminator of viral DNA during reverse transcription. It improves immunologic function, partially reverses the HIV-induced neurological dysfunction, and improves certain other clinical abnormalities associated with AIDS. Its principal toxic effect is dose-dependent suppression of bone marrow, resulting in anemia and leukopenia.

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.
