Database of known and predicted mammalian and eukaryotic protein-protein interactions, it is designed to be both a resource for the laboratory scientist to explore known and predicted protein-protein interactions, and to facilitate bioinformatics initiatives exploring protein interaction networks. It has been built by mapping high-throughput (HTP) data between species. Thus, until experimentally verified, these interactions should be considered predictions. It remains one of the most comprehensive sources of known and predicted eukaryotic PPI. It contains 490,600 Source Interactions, 370,002 Predicted Interactions, for a total of 846,116 interactions, and continues to expand as new protein-protein interaction data becomes available.

Portal to neuroanatomical information on the Web that helps you identify structures in the brain and provides a variety of information about each structure by porting you to the best of 1500 web pages at 100 other neuroscience sites. BrainInfo consists of three basic components: NeuroNames, a developing database of definitions of neuroanatomic structures in four species, their most common acronyms and their names in eight languages; NeuroMaps, a digital atlas system based on 3-D canonical stereotaxic atlases of rhesus macaque and mouse brains and programs that enable one to map data to standard surface and cross-sectional views of the brains for presentation and publication; and the NeuroMaps precursor: Template Atlas of the Primate Brain, a 2-D stereotaxic atlas of the longtailed (fascicularis) macaque brain that shows the locations of some 250 architectonic areas of macaque cortex. The NeuroMaps atlases will soon include a number of overlays showing the locations of cortical areas and other neuroscientific data in the standard frameworks of the macaque and mouse atlases. Viewers are encouraged to use NeuroNames as a stable source of unique standard terms and acronyms for brain structures in publications, illustrations and indexing systems; to use templates extracted from the NeuroMaps macaque and mouse brain atlases for presenting neuroscientific information in image format; and to use the Template Atlas for warping to MRIs or PET scans of the macaque brain to estimate the stereotaxic locations of structures.

Portal for preclinical information and research materials, including web-accessible data and tools, NCI-60 Tumor Cell Line Screen, compounds in vials and plates, tumor cells, animals, and bulk drugs for investigational new drug (IND)-directed studies. DTP has been involved in the discovery or development of more than 70 percent of the anticancer therapeutics on the market today, and will continue helping the academic and private sectors to overcome various therapeutic development barriers, particularly through supporting high-risk projects and therapeutic development for rare cancers. Initially DTP made its drug discovery and development services and the results from the human tumor cell line assay publicly accessible to researchers worldwide. At first, the site offered in vitro human cell line data for a few thousand compounds and in vitro anti-HIV screening data for roughly 42,000 compounds. Today, visitors can find: * Downloadable in vitro human tumor cell line data for some 43,500 compounds and 15,000 natural product extracts * Results for 60,000 compounds evaluated in the yeast assay * In vivo animal model results for 30,000 compounds * 2-D and 3-D chemical structures for more than 200,000 compounds * Molecular target data, including characterizations for at least 1,200 targets, plus data from multiple cDNA microarray projects In addition to browsing DTP's databases and downloading data, researchers can request individual samples or sets of compounds on 96-well plates for research, or they can submit their own compounds for consideration for screening via DTP's online submission form. Once a compound is submitted for screening, researchers can follow its progress and retrieve data using a secure web interface. The NCI has collected information on almost half a million chemical structures in the past 50 years. DTP has made this information accessible and useful for investigators through its 3-D database, a collection of three-dimensional structures for more than 200,000 drugs. Investigators use the 3-D database to screen compounds for anticancer therapeutic activity. Also available on DTP's website are 127,000 connection tables for anticancer agents. A connection table is a convenient way of depicting molecular structures without relying on drawn chemical structures. As unique lists of atoms and their connections, the connection tables can be indexed and stored in computer databases where they can be used for patent searches, toxicology studies, and precursor searching, for example., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.

Urinary kidney biomarkers (KIM-1, albumin, total protein, 2-microglobulin, cystatin C, clusterin and trefoil factor-3) that are considered acceptable biomarkers for the detection of acute drug-induced nephrotoxicity in rats and can be included along with traditional clinical chemistry markers and histopathology in toxicology studies. These biomarkers may be used voluntarily as additional evidence of nephrotoxicity in nonclinical safety assessment studies to complement the standard data (BUN and sCr). In ROC analyses, some of these biomarkers showed better sensitivity and specificity than BUN and sCr relative to histopathological alterations considered to be the gold standard when tested with a limited number of nephrotoxicant and control compounds.
