Drug-likeness is a vital consideration when selecting compounds in the early stage of drug discovery. A series of drug-like properties are needed to predict the drug-likeness of a given compound and provide useful guidelines to increase the likelihood of converting lead compounds into drugs. Experimental physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetic/toxicokinetic properties and maximum dosages of approved small-molecule drugs from multiple text-based unstructured data resources have been manually assembled, curated, further digitized and processed into structured data, which are deposited in the Database of Digital Properties of approved Drugs (DDPD). DDPD 1.0 contains 30 212 drug property entries, including 2250 approved drugs and 32 properties, in a standardized value/unit format. Moreover, two analysis tools are provided to examine the drug-likeness features of given molecules based on the collected property data of approved drugs. Additionally, three case studies are presented to demonstrate how users can utilize the database. We believe that this database will be a valuable resource for the drug discovery and development field. Database URL : http://www.inbirg.com/ddpd
