Most medicines are chemical substances that work by interacting with specific target proteins in the body. The International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the British Pharmacological Society (BPS) have joined forces to develop the Guide to PHARMACOLOGY (www.guidetopharmacology.org), a portal to information on the targets of licensed drugs and other targets of current research interest, such as those linked to human disease. Over the next 3 years, with support from the Wellcome Trust, IUPHAR and BPS, the Guide to PHARMACOLOGY portal will be expanded to cover all the targets of current licensed drugs and those with potential to be targets of future therapeutics. Our goal is to provide scientists, doctors, allied professions and the general public with a ‘one-stop shop’ source of information on how drugs work, and to help researchers to design experiments using the appropriate reagents.
