Abstract |
Indian Plant Anticancer Compounds Database (InPACdb) is a web-based open access database of phytochemicals. The objective of this initiative is to project the potential of anticancer phytochemicals from Indian pharmacopoeia in an integrated environment. This database is unique in providing comprehensive information covering cancer type, molecular target, 3D Stereochemical structures (tautomers, stereoisomers, conformers and resonance structures) and Chemical descriptors etc. for each entry, enabling effective cheminformatics analysis. The complete dataset of InPACdb encompasses 32 descriptive fields for each entry, and is freely available for download at http://www.inpacdb.org.
