A Comprehensive review of Medicinal Plant Database, Drug Discovery, and Model Organism Databases: Insights into Biomedical Research

In this review, our focus is on biomedical research database that are reported housed mostly by the National institute of Health of the United States .This review presents an overview of three critical domains in biomedical research: medicinal plant databases, drug discovery databases, and model organism databases. By compiling these sources, we aimed to put forth the relevant resources that are key in drug discovery and development. Our focus includes comprehensive searches across multiple databases, including Medicinal Plant Database, Drug Discovery, and Model Organism Databases. Moreover, our investigation on 11 Model organism databases provides valuable insights into drug efficacy, toxicity, and translational research. Medicinal plant databases provide information about classifications, activities, phytochemicals, test targets and structure of phytochemicals in different formats. Drug and drug discovery databases help researchers find and develop new medications by providing organized and accessible information about existing drugs and potential candidates for further study. Brief descriptions of each Database, as well as details including data source, type, study model, availability of access are provided. Furthermore, the entire databases reported here are continuously updating databases according to their user feedbacks and with advancing technologies. Thus, this review highlights how combining updated information from medicinal plants, drug discovery, and model organism databases helps the researchers to make faster progress in medical research and developing treatments.
