This portal page shows links to the top pages of each database of WAKANYAKU (natural medicine).

INM Databases

TradMPD

This database provides various kinds of scientific information on crude drugs, kampo formulas, and natural compounds. The results of genetic (crude drug only), chemical, and biological analyses on crude drugs, kampo formulas, and natural compounds are also included.

WAKANYAKU Wiki Database

This database provides reviews on natural medicines, natural compounds isolated and identified in Institute of Natural Medicine, LC-MS profiles of samples used in researches on natural medicines, and “honzotsukan”, a book on crude drugs written in the Edo period. It includes links to ToRepo.

ETHMEDmmm

This database provides scientific information on crude drugs as well as the crude drug specimens stored in the Museum of Materia Medica. It is maintained by the Museum of Materia Medica.

KampoDB

This database provides information about natural compound-protein interactions predicted by using docking simulations and machine learning. It also provides information about what pathways and biological processes are predicted to be affected by kampo formulas and crude drugs.

Shouruihonzou DB

This database provides the Japanese translation of the original text of “Zhèng Lèi Běn Cǎo” (證類本草). It is maintained by the Museum of Materia Medica.

Exploratory Research Data

What is exploratory research?

Exploratory research project is an INM project in which libraries of natural medicines, such as crude drug extracts, are provided by INM, and researchers outside INM conduct bioassay using the libraries. The results are then published in an INM database. For more details, please see here.
