ready RxNORM


General Information
RxNorm provides normalized names for clinical drugs and links its names to many of the drug vocabularies commonly used in pharmacy management and drug interaction software, including those of First Databank, Micromedex, MediSpan, Gold Standard Drug Database, and Multum. By providing links between these vocabularies, RxNorm can mediate messages between systems not using the same software and vocabulary. RxNorm now includes the National Drug File - Reference Terminology (NDF-RT) from the Veterans Health Administration. NDF-RT is a terminology used to code clinical drug properties, including mechanism of action, physiologic effect, and therapeutic category.

Rhea
Rhea is a comprehensive and non-redundant resource of expert-curated chemical and transport reactions of biological interest. Rhea can be used for enzyme annotation, genome-scale metabolic modeling and omics-related analysis. Rhea describes enzyme-catalyzed reactions covering the IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature list as well as additional reactions, including spontaneously occurring reactions. Rhea is built on ChEBI (Chemical Entities of Biological Interest) ontology of small molecules to describe its reaction participants. Since December 2018, Rhea is the standard for enzyme annotation in UniProt.
DrugCentral
DrugCentral is online drug information that provides information on active ingredients, chemical entities, pharmaceutical products, drug mode of action, indications, and pharmacologic mode of action. DrugCentral monitors FDA, EMA, and PMDA for new drug approval on regular basis to ensure currency of the resource. This resource was created and is maintained by the Division of Translational Informatics at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine.
