The DrugBank database is a unique bioinformatics and cheminformatics resource that combines detailed drug data with comprehensive drug target information.
The latest release of DrugBank (version 5.1.6, released 2020-04-22) contains 13,565 drug entries including 2,629 approved small molecule drugs, 1,373 approved biologics (proteins, peptides, vaccines, and allergenics), 131 nutraceuticals and over 6,372 experimental (discovery-phase) drugs. Additionally, 5,250 non-redundant protein (i.e. drug target/enzyme/transporter/carrier) sequences are linked to these drug entries. Each entry contains more than 200 data fields with half of the information being devoted to drug/chemical data and the other half devoted to drug target or protein data.

COVID-19 Information Dashboard
We've put together a COVID-19 Information Dashboard, to provide a comprehensive summary of relevant COVID-19 research, in an effort to help researchers find the information they need quickly and effectively.

Remdesivir
Remdesivir, or GS-5734, is an adenosine triphosphate analog first described in the literature in 2016 as a potential treatment for Ebola. In 2017, its activity against the coronavirus family of viruses was also demonstrated. Remdesivir is also being researched as a potential treatment to SARS-CoV2, the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19.
