TCMBank: bridges between the largest herbal medicines, chemical ingredients, target proteins, and associated diseases with intelligence text mining

Abstract

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has long been viewed as precious sources of modern drug discovery. AI-assisted drug discovery (AIDD) has been investigated extensively. However, there are still two challenges in...

A focus on harnessing big data and artificial intelligence: revolutionizing drug discovery from traditional Chinese medicine sources

“…They have developed TCMBank, the most extensive systematic central resource for TCM (https://doi.org/10.1039/ D3SC02139D). 7 This database also incorporates an EL-based drug discovery workow, which assists in identifying potential lead compounds and opportunities for drug repurposing.…”

“…Overall, the TCMBank by Chen et al 7 demonstrates how big data and AI can revolutionize drug discovery from TCM sources. The acquisition of adequate, highly reliable, and issue-specific big data (TCMBank) is a significant factor in the success of AI-assisted drug discovery.…”
