IUPHAR/BPS Guide to PHARMACOLOGY

The IUPHAR/BPS Guide to PHARMACOLOGY is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the study of pharmacology. It's a comprehensive guide that offers detailed information on pharmacological targets, prescription medicines, and experimental drugs. The platform is developed as a joint initiative of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the British Pharmacological Society (BPS), ensuring the highest level of expertise and reliability. The site is structured in a way that makes it easy to navigate through its vast database. It includes sections on various targets like G protein-coupled receptors, ion channels, nuclear hormone receptors, kinases, catalytic receptors, transporters, enzymes, and other protein targets. Each section is further detailed with information on approved drugs, synthetic organics, metabolites, natural products, endogenous peptides, and other peptides, along with inorganics and antibodies. One of the standout features of the IUPHAR/BPS Guide to PHARMACOLOGY is the Ligand Activity Charts. These interactive charts allow users to compare pharmacology across different targets and species. This feature is particularly useful for researchers and students who need to analyze and compare the effects of different ligands on various targets. The site also provides access to the GtoPdb database, which is a repository of information on pharmacological targets. It includes detailed information on the three-dimensional structures of pharmacological targets, which can be crucial for researchers in the field of drug discovery. The Resources section of the site is another gem. It includes help documentation, FAQs, tutorials, and the ability to download data and reports. The site regularly updates its database, and users can access p
