<i>In Silico</i> ADME/Tox Profiling of Natural Products: A Focus on BIOFACQUIM

Abstract

ADME/Tox profile of natural products in BIOFACQUIM and other large public collections of natural products. It was concluded that the absorption and distribution profiles of compounds in BIOFACQUIM are similar to those of approved drugs, while the metabolism profile is comparable to that in the other natural product databases. The excretion profile of compounds in BIOFACQUIM is different from that of the approved drugs, but their predicted toxicity profile is comparable. This work further contributes to the deeper characterization of natural product collections as major sources of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential.
