Natural products are the major resource of drug discovery, and terpenoids represent the largest family of natural products. Terpenome is defined as all terpenoid-like and terpenoidderived natural compounds, including the terpenoids, steroids, and their derivatives. Herein, aiming to navigate the chemical and biological space of terpenome, the first comprehensive database dedicated to terpenome research has been developed by collecting over 110 000 terpenome molecules from various resources, distributed in 14 351 species, belonging to 1109 families, and showing activity against 1366 biological targets. Much of the publically available information or computationally predicted properties for each terpenome molecule is annotated and integrated into TeroKit (http://terokit.qmclab.com/), serving as free Web server for academic use. Moreover, several practical toolkits, such as target profiling and conformer generation modules, are also implemented to facilitate the drug discovery of terpenome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
