Abstract

The article discusses the creation of the World Wide Approved Drug (WWAD) database, which aims to provide comprehensive information on medicines approved for therapeutic use worldwide. The database collects data from National Medicine Registers (NMRs) and official documentation from medicines regulatory authorities (MRAs) of different countries. The article emphasizes the need for a unified resource that aggregates information on worldwide approved medicines and highlights the challenges in accessing and processing this data. The World Wide Approved Drugs (WWAD) database is a comprehensive resource that provides information on low molecular weight pharmaceutical substances from 71 countries and regions. It includes data on drug names, chemical structures, therapeutic indications, molecular targets, and biological activities. The database can be used for various purposes, including searching for information on approved drugs, drug repositioning, data enrichment, and assessing the novelty of investigated compounds. The WWAD database is freely available for academic use through the Way2Drug platform. This document contains a list of references and citations from various scientific articles and databases related to topics such as computational chemistry, drug discovery, drug repurposing, and regulatory approval of drugs. The references cover a range of subjects including the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in drug discovery, the development of databases for drug repurposing, and the analysis of drug approvals by regulatory agencies. The document provides a comprehensive list of sources that library patrons can use to further their research on these topics. [Extracted from the article]
