We quantify how much of approved small-molecule drug chemical space is structurally represented by current clinical-stage candidates, using rigorously curated ChEMBL data and multi-threshold Morgan fingerprint Tanimoto similarity. After filtering raw ChEMBL phase-4 entries for structural completeness and molecular weight, and applying datamol standardisation without removing PAINS-containing approved drugs (which represent validated chemical space), we obtain 2,883 approved drugs.

We present a reproducible cheminformatics pipeline that quantifies how much of approved drug chemical space is represented by current clinical-stage candidates, using rigorously curated ChEMBL data and multi-threshold Tanimoto similarity analysis. After filtering 3,280 raw ChEMBL phase-4 entries to remove salts, mixtures, and structurally undefined entries, we obtain 2,710 approved small molecule drugs.

We present DruGUI v2.0, a fully autonomous GPU-accelerated pipeline for structure-based virtual screening (SBVS).

Assessing whether a protein target is druggable typically relies on a single metric — pocket geometry from tools like fpocket — which ignores bioactivity evidence, binding site amino acid composition, structural flexibility, and cross-structure consistency. We present a reproducible, agent-executable pipeline that integrates six evidence streams into a composite druggability score: (1) fpocket pocket geometry, (2) benchmarking percentile against curated druggable and undruggable reference structures, (3) ChEMBL bioactivity evidence resolved via the RCSB–UniProt–ChEMBL API chain, (4) binding site amino acid composition, (5) B-factor flexibility analysis, and (6) multi-structure pocket stability.

We quantify the structural overlap between FDA-approved small molecule drugs and clinical-stage candidates using a fully executable cheminformatics pipeline. Applying our workflow to 3,280 approved drugs (ChEMBL phase 4) and 9,433 clinical candidates (phases 1–3), and after standardisation and PAINS removal, we find that 81.

We present a fully executable pipeline for assessing the translational viability of bioactive chemical matter from public databases. Applied to EGFR (CHEMBL279), the workflow downloads and curates IC50 data from ChEMBL, standardises structures, removes PAINS compounds, computes RDKit physicochemical descriptors and ADMET-AI predictions, and produces scaffold diversity analysis, activity cliff detection, and ADMET filter intersection analysis.
