KEGG MEDICUS

KEGG MEDICUS is an integrated information resource of diseases, drugs, and health-related substances, aiming to bring the genomic revolution to society. The KEGG MEDICUS project involves the development of the KEGG DISEASE and DRUG databases, as well as the integration with other KEGG databases and outside databases.

• KEGG MEDICUS is supported by the National Bioscience Database Center in Japan.

KEGG MEDICUS currently integrates the KEGG DRUG and KEGG DISEASE databases, human pathways and drug development pathways in the KEGG PATHWAY database, and FDA drug labels (package inserts) for both prescription and OTC drugs in the USA. Note that the Japanese version of KEGG MEDICUS also includes package inserts of all drugs marketed in Japan.

• FDA drug labels are integrated as links to the DailyMed database.
