Abstract EN

The unique geographic features of Taiwan are attributed to the rich indigenous and endemic plant species in Taiwan.

These plants serve as resourceful bank for biologically active phytochemicals.

Given that these plant-derived chemicals are prototypes of potential drugs for diseases, databases connecting the chemical structures and pharmacological activities may facilitate drug development.

To enhance the utility of the data, it is desirable to develop a database of chemical compounds and corresponding activities from indigenous plants in Taiwan.

A database of anticancer, antiplatelet, and antituberculosis phytochemicals from indigenous plants in Taiwan was constructed.

The database, TIPdb, is composed of a standardized format of published anticancer, antiplatelet, and antituberculosis phytochemicals from indigenous plants in Taiwan.

A browse function was implemented for users to browse the database in a taxonomy-based manner.

Search functions can be utilized to filter records of interest by botanical name, part, chemical class, or compound name.

The structured and searchable database TIPdb was constructed to serve as a comprehensive and standardized resource for anticancer, antiplatelet, and antituberculosis compounds search.

The manually curated chemical structures and activities provide a great opportunity to develop quantitative structure-activity relationship models for the high-throughput screening of potential anticancer, antiplatelet, and antituberculosis drugs.
