LigAdvisor

LigAdvisor is a web server developed by the Molecular Modelling and Drug Design Lab with the collaboration of the DB Group.

LigAdvisor is a versatile and user-friendly platform to help researchers in de novo drug design and discovery. This web platform is based on the combined application of a number of ligand-based similarity approaches performed on a very large set of chemical, biological and structural open data. LigAdvisor integrates information reported on ChEMBL, DrugBank, PDB, PubChem and ClinicalTrials.gov into a unique and curated platform. The user can draw chemical structures and submit query jobs in search of biological targets (target fishing), repurposed drugs, polypharmacological ligands, and much more.

LigAdvisor development was supported by the Fondo di Ateneo per la Ricerca interdisciplinare (FAR 2019, PI Prof. Giulio Rastelli) grant from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
