NAME

WWW::Search::DrugBank - Access DrugBank's database of pharmaceuticals

SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Search;

  my $search = new WWW::Search('DrugBank');

  my @ids = qw/ APRD00109 APRD00189 APRD00849 /;
  $search->native_query( \@ids );

  while( my $drug = $search->next_result ) {
    printf "Generic name: %s\n", $drug->{generic_name};
    printf "Melting point: %s\n", $drug->{melting_point};
    printf "CAS registry number: %s\n", $drug->{cas_registry_number};
    printf "PubChem compound ID: %s\n", $drug->{pubchem_id}->{compound};
    printf "PubChem substance ID: %s\n", $drug->{pubchem_id}->{substance};
    print "\n";
    # ... etc.
  }

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a programmatic way of scouring DrugBank (http://redpoll.pharmacy.ualberta.ca/drugbank/), the University of Alberta project that maintains a database of a wide range of pharmaceuticals.

If you are unfamiliar with the WWW::Search interface, see the synopsis for an example of how you might use this module. As its first argument, the "native_query" method accepts either a DrugBank accession number or a reference to an array of such numbers. Results returned by the "next_result" method (named $drug above) are WWW::SearchResult objects containing data about the target drug. Each result contains the following fields.
