drugbank-database

To extract DrugBank targets and drug interactions programmatically, use the provided scripts to load the DrugBank XML data and call the get_targets and get_interactions methods to build research datasets for pharmacology analysis.

Yes, you need the drugbank-downloader package and a Python environment to load DrugBank XML data. This dependency is required to expose the methods that retrieve drug records, interactions, and targets.

Programmatic DrugBank data access differs from manual browsing by exposing methods like get_drug_info, get_interactions, and get_targets, allowing researchers to directly extract and analyze chemical properties and pathways into structured datasets.

Programmatic DrugBank data analysis requires a Python environment and the drugbank-downloader dependency to load XML data. It is limited to querying the loaded dataset and does not perform predictive pharmacology modeling beyond the available records.
