IUPHAR-DB, GRAC and
the IUPHAR/BPS Guide to PHARMACOLOGY
Adam J. Pawson
Monday 14th July 2014, WCP2014
The history of IUPHAR-DB
• The IUPHAR database of receptors and channels has
been under development since 2000;
• Developed by a team of curators, guided by NC-
IUPHAR and its international network of expert
contributors;
• In-depth coverage of the properties and pharmacology
of G protein-coupled receptors, voltage- and ligand-
gated ion channels, and nuclear hormone receptors.
The history of IUPHAR-DB (2)
– Peer-reviewed by NC-IUPHAR subcommittees; data include:
• Gene and protein information
• IUPHAR nomenclature and synonyms
• Agonist , antagonist and allosteric modulator affinities
• Transduction mechanisms;Tissue distribution
• Functional assays; Physiological Functions
• Mouse gene knockout phenotypes
• Clinically-Relevant Mutations and Pathophysiology
• Gene expression changes in pathophysiology; Biologically
significant variants
– Extensively referenced and linked to primary literature in PubMed
– Extensively linked to corresponding entries in other resources
– Provides unambiguous ligand structural information and peptide
sequences
A new initiative
• In early 2011 a collaboration was initiated between
IUPHAR and the British Pharmacological Society;
• To develop a single entry point to pharmacological
information on drug targets and their ligands.
The IUPHAR/BPS
Guide to PHARMACOLOGY
• A single entry point to pharmacological
information originally contained in IUPHAR-
DB and the 5th (2012) Edition of GRAC;
Introducing GRAC
• The Guide to Receptors and Channels (GRAC);
• Published since 2004; biennially by the British
Journal of Pharmacology;
• Authoritative, but user-friendly publication,
which allows a rapid overview of the key
properties of a wide range of established or
potential pharmacological targets;
• Provides information succinctly, so that a
newcomer to a particular target group can
identify the main elements ‘at a glance’.
Introducing GRAC (2)
– Concise target family summaries of the key
properties of over 2000 established or potential
drug targets
• G protein-coupled receptors
• Ligand-gated ion channels
• Other ion channels
• Nuclear hormone receptors
• Catalytic receptors
• Enzymes
• Transporters
– Overview summaries and comments on data
– Selective ligands and probes (radioligands and PET
ligands where available)
– Further reading lists

The IUPHAR/BPS
Guide to PHARMACOLOGY
• A single entry point to pharmacological
information originally contained in
IUPHAR-DB and the 5th (2012) Edition of
GRAC;
• Information presented in two levels of
detail; concise and detailed views;
• Customised tables for selected targets.

Kinases
• All the human protein kinases and selected lipid kinases,
including genomic and structural information for all the
kinases;
• Additional information is provided on the 20 clinically-used
kinase inhibitors [including summaries of clinical use and
absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME)
data];
• Selected bioactivity data for approved kinase inhibitors;
• Data from published screening assays by DiscoveRx, EMD
Millipore and Reaction Biology are also included for 71, 158
and 176 kinase inhibitors respectively;
• DiscoveRx data include links to theirTREEspot™ compound
profile visualisation tool.
Kinases

Proteases and hydrolases
• The database includes pages with genomic and
structural information for 175 proteases and 14
hydrolases with activity records in ChEMBL;
• Detailed ligand activity (Ki or IC50) mapping has
been curated for 46 proteases and 14 hydrolases
for either approved prodrugs, drugs, clinical
candidates or selected research compounds;
• MEROPS classification system adopted.
Proteases and hydrolases
Epigenetics
• We provide annotation on 127 epigenetics
targets (chromatin modifying enzymes and
bromodomain-containing proteins), along
with activity data for 41 inhibitors.
Drugs andTargets in
Alzheimer’s disease
• Database search functionality enables
retrieval of implicated ligands and
targets by disease name;
• A search for “Alzheimer’s disease”
returns database entries for 43 ligands
and 13 targets.
