The International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) launched the IUPHAR Receptor Database, a collection of information on G Protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which is one of the most common target molecules in drug development.
The goal of the IUPHAR database is to provide information on all of the GPCRs, with information on the drugs that act on them, the targets in the body where they are found and the diseases in which they may be involved." Professor Michael Spedding, Chairman of NC-IUPHAR, commented: "The knowledge in this database is freely available to all scientists and drug discoverers throughout the world, and is a powerful tool for future research".


This is certainly a unique tool to pharmacologists and drug R&D scientists, making use of the information embedded in the results of the Human genome Project.
