1. Introduction

The PubChemR package introduces a pivotal function, get_pug_rest, designed to facilitate seamless access to the vast chemical data repository of PubChem. This function leverages the capabilities of PubChem’s Power User Gateway (PUG) REST service, providing a straightforward and efficient means for users to programmatically interact with PubChem’s extensive database. This vignette aims to elucidate the structure and usage of the PUG REST service, offering a range of illustrative use cases to aid new users in understanding its operation and constructing effective requests.

2. PUG REST: A Gateway to Chemical Data

PUG REST, standing for Power User Gateway RESTful interface, is a simplified access route to PubChem’s data and services. It is designed for scripts, web page embedded JavaScript, and third-party applications, eliminating the need for the more complex XML and SOAP envelopes required by other PUG variants. PUG REST’s design revolves around the PubChem identifier (SID for substances, CID for compounds, and AID for assays) and is structured into three main request components: input (identifiers), operation (actions on identifiers), and output (desired information format).

2.1. Key Features of PUG REST:

  • Flexibility and Combinatorial Use: PUG REST allows a wide range of combinations of inputs, operations, and outputs, enabling users to create customized requests.
  • Support for Various Formats: It supports multiple output formats, including XML, JSON, CSV, PNG, and plain text, catering to different application needs.
  • RESTful Design: The service is based on HTTP requests with details encoded in the URL path, making it RESTful and user-friendly.

Usage Policy:

  • PUG REST is not intended for extremely high-volume requests (millions). Users are advised to limit their requests to no more than 5 per second to prevent server overload.
  • For large data sets, users are encouraged to contact PubChem for optimized query approaches.

3. Accessing PUG REST with get_pug_rest

Overview

The get_pug_rest function in the PubChemR package provides a versatile interface to access a wide range of chemical data from the PubChem database. This section of the vignette focuses on various methods to retrieve chemical structure information and other related data using the PUG REST service. The function is designed to be flexible, accommodating different input methods, operations, and output formats.

This function sends a request to the PubChem PUG REST API to retrieve various types of data for a given identifier. It supports fetching data in different formats and allows saving the output.

get_pug_rest(
  identifier = NULL,
  namespace = "cid",
  domain = "compound",
  operation = NULL,
  output = "JSON",
  searchtype = NULL,
  property = NULL,
  options = NULL,
  save = FALSE,
  dpi = 300,
  path = NULL,
  file_name = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

  • identifier: A vector of identifiers for the query, either numeric or character. This is the main input for querying the PubChem database.

  • namespace: A character string specifying the namespace for the request. Default is ‘cid’. This defines the type of identifier being used, such as ‘cid’ (Compound ID), ‘sid’ (Substance ID), etc.

  • domain: A character string specifying the domain for the request. Default is ‘compound’. This indicates the type of entity being queried, such as ‘compound’, ‘substance’, etc.

  • operation: An optional character string specifying the operation for the request. This can be used to specify particular actions or methods within the API.

  • output: A character string specifying the output format. Possible values are ‘SDF’, ‘JSON’, ‘JSONP’, ‘CSV’, ‘TXT’, and ‘PNG’. Default is ‘JSON’. This defines the format in which the data will be returned.

  • searchtype: An optional character string specifying the search type. This allows for specifying the nature of the search being performed.

  • property: An optional character string specifying the property for the request. This can be used to filter or specify particular properties of the data being retrieved.

  • options: A list of additional options for the request. This allows for further customization and fine-tuning of the request parameters.

  • save: A logical value indicating whether to save the output as a file or image. Default is FALSE. When set to TRUE, the function will save the retrieved data to a specified file.

  • dpi: An integer specifying the DPI for image output. Default is 300. This is relevant when the output format is an image, determining the resolution of the saved image.

  • path: A character string specifying the directory path where the file will be saved. If not provided, the current working directory is used.

  • file_name: A character string of length 1. Defines the name of the file (without file extension) to save. If NULL, the default file name is set as “files_downloaded”.

  • : Additional arguments to be passed to the request.

Value

The function returns different types of content based on the specified output format:

JSON: Returns a list. CSV and TXT: Returns a data frame. SDF: Returns an SDF file of the requested identifier. PNG: Returns an image object or saves an image file.

3.1. Input Methods

In the context of the PubChem PUG REST API, the input methods define how records of interest are specified for a request. There are several ways to define this input, with the most common methods being outlined below:

1. By Identifier: The most straightforward method to specify input is by using identifiers directly. These identifiers can be Substance IDs (SIDs) or Compound IDs (CIDs). For example, to retrieve the names of a substance with CID 2244, you can use the get_pug_rest function as follows:

result <- get_pug_rest(identifier = "2244", namespace = "cid", domain = "compound", output = "JSON")
result
#> 
#>  An object of class 'PugRestInstance'
#> 
#>  Request Details:  
#>   - Domain: Compound
#>   - Namespace: CID
#>   - Operation: <NULL>
#>   - Identifier: 2244
#> 
#>  NOTE: Run getter function 'pubChemData(...)' to extract raw data retrieved from PubChem Database. 
#>        See ?pubChemData for details.

The pubChemData function then processes the result to extract and display the retrieved data. Here’s an interpretation of the output for CID 2244:

pubChemDataResult <- pubChemData(result)

The JSON response contains detailed information about the compound identified by CID 2244. The PC_Compounds array holds the compound data, and within it, each element corresponds to a specific compound.

For CID 2244, the following information is retrieved:

ID: Confirms the compound identifier is CID 2244.

pubChemDataResult$PC_Compounds[[1]]$id
#> $id
#>  cid 
#> 2244

Atoms: Details the atomic composition, with an aid array listing the atom IDs and an element array listing the atomic numbers (e.g., 6 for carbon, 8 for oxygen, 1 for hydrogen).

For multiple IDs, a vector of IDs can be used. For instance, to retrieve a CSV table of compound properties:

result <- get_pug_rest(identifier = c("1","2","3","4","5"), namespace = "cid", domain = "compound", property = c("MolecularFormula","MolecularWeight","CanonicalSMILES"), output = "CSV")
result
#> 
#>  An object of class 'PugRestInstance'
#> 
#>  Request Details:  
#>   - Domain: Compound
#>   - Namespace: CID
#>   - Operation: <NULL>
#>   - Identifier: 1, 2, ... and 3 more.
#> 
#>  NOTE: Run getter function 'pubChemData(...)' to extract raw data retrieved from PubChem Database. 
#>        See ?pubChemData for details.

The output of this request, when processed with pubChemData, provides a data frame containing the specified properties for each CID:

pubChemData(result)
#>   CID MolecularFormula MolecularWeight                  CanonicalSMILES
#> 1   1         C9H17NO4          203.24 CC(=O)OC(CC(=O)[O-])C[N+](C)(C)C
#> 2   2        C9H18NO4+          204.24    CC(=O)OC(CC(=O)O)C[N+](C)(C)C
#> 3   3           C7H8O4          156.14         C1=CC(C(C(=C1)C(=O)O)O)O
#> 4   4           C3H9NO           75.11                          CC(CN)O
#> 5   5         C3H8NO5P          169.07             C(C(=O)COP(=O)(O)O)N

Each row in the table corresponds to a different CID and lists the requested properties, facilitating easy comparison and further analysis.

2. By Name: In addition to using direct identifiers, you can refer to a chemical by its common name. This method allows users to search for compounds using familiar names instead of numerical identifiers. It’s important to note that a single name might correspond to multiple records in the PubChem database. For example, the name “glucose” can refer to several different compounds or isomers. Here’s how you can retrieve Compound IDs (CIDs) for “glucose”:

result <- get_pug_rest(identifier = "glucose", namespace = "name", domain = "compound", operation = "cids", output = "TXT")
result
#> 
#>  An object of class 'PugRestInstance'
#> 
#>  Request Details:  
#>   - Domain: Compound
#>   - Namespace: Name
#>   - Operation: cids
#>   - Identifier: glucose
#> 
#>  NOTE: Run getter function 'pubChemData(...)' to extract raw data retrieved from PubChem Database. 
#>        See ?pubChemData for details.

The pubChemData function is then used to process the result and extract the retrieved data. The function retrieves the output in data frame. The output indicates that the search for “glucose” returned a single CID:

pubChemData(result)
#>   Text
#> 1 5793

This output reveals that the common name “glucose” corresponds to the CID 5793. This CID can then be used in further queries to retrieve detailed information about the compound, such as its molecular structure, properties, and associated bioactivities.

Using a common name for searching can simplify the process, especially when the numerical identifiers are not known. However, because a name can map to multiple records, the results might need further filtering or validation to ensure they correspond to the specific compound of interest.

3. By Structure Identity: Another method to specify a compound in PubChem PUG REST API requests is by using structural identifiers such as SMILES or InChI keys. This approach allows for precise identification of chemical structures by providing a textual representation of the molecule. For example, to retrieve the CID for the SMILES string “CCCC” (which represents butane), you can use the following code:

result <- get_pug_rest(identifier = "CCCC", namespace = "smiles", domain = "compound", operation = "cids", output = "TXT")
result
#> 
#>  An object of class 'PugRestInstance'
#> 
#>  Request Details:  
#>   - Domain: Compound
#>   - Namespace: SMILES
#>   - Operation: cids
#>   - Identifier: CCCC
#> 
#>  NOTE: Run getter function 'pubChemData(...)' to extract raw data retrieved from PubChem Database. 
#>        See ?pubChemData for details.

When the pubChemData(result) function is executed, it retrieves the output in data frame. The output indicates that the search for the SMILES string “CCCC” returned a single CID:

pubChemData(result)
#>   Text
#> 1 7843

This output reveals that the SMILES string “CCCC” corresponds to the CID 7843. This CID can then be used in further queries to gather detailed information about the compound, such as its molecular structure, physical and chemical properties, biological activities, and more.

Using structure-based identifiers like SMILES or InChI keys is particularly useful for precise and unambiguous chemical searches, as these identifiers provide a detailed representation of the molecule’s structure. This method ensures that the exact compound of interest is identified, reducing the risk of ambiguity that might arise with common names or other identifiers.

4. By Fast (Synchronous) Structure Search: In PubChem PUG REST API, fast (synchronous) structure search allows for quicker searches by identity, similarity, substructure, and superstructure, often returning results in a single call. This method is efficient for obtaining results quickly and is useful for various types of structural queries.

To illustrate, let’s perform a fast identity search for the compound with CID 5793, using the same connectivity option:

result <- get_pug_rest(identifier = "5793", namespace = "cid", domain = "compound", operation = "cids", output = "TXT", searchtype = "fastidentity", options = list(identity_type = "same_connectivity"))
result
#> 
#>  An object of class 'PugRestInstance'
#> 
#>  Request Details:  
#>   - Domain: Compound
#>   - Namespace: CID
#>   - Operation: cids
#>   - Identifier: 5793
#> 
#>  NOTE: Run getter function 'pubChemData(...)' to extract raw data retrieved from PubChem Database. 
#>        See ?pubChemData for details.

When the following code executed, it retrieves the output in data frame, listing all CIDs that match the fast identity search criteria.

pubChemData(result)
#>          Text
#> 1        5793

5. By Cross-Reference (XRef): The cross-reference (XRef) method allows for reverse lookup of records using a cross-reference value. This method is particularly useful for linking external identifiers, such as patent numbers, to records in the PubChem database. For example, to find all SIDs linked to a specific patent identifier, you can use the following code:

result <- get_pug_rest(identifier = "US20050159403A1", namespace = "xref/PatentID", domain = "substance", operation = "sids", output = "JSON")
result
#> 
#>  An object of class 'PugRestInstance'
#> 
#>  Request Details:  
#>   - Domain: Substance
#>   - Namespace: DomainSpecific
#>   - Operation: sids
#>   - Identifier: US20050159403A1
#> 
#>  NOTE: Run getter function 'pubChemData(...)' to extract raw data retrieved from PubChem Database. 
#>        See ?pubChemData for details.

pubChemData function retrieves all SIDs that are linked to the specified patent identifier. The output indicates that the specified patent identifier “US20050159403A1” is linked to a large number of SIDs. Each SID represents a different substance that has been referenced in the patent.

This result provides a comprehensive list of substances associated with the specified patent, allowing for further exploration and analysis within the PubChem database.

3.2. Available Data

Once you’ve specified the records of interest in PUG REST, the next step is to define what information you want to retrieve about these records. PUG REST excels in providing access to specific data points about each record, such as individual properties or cross-references, without the need to download and sift through large datasets.

1. Full Records: PUG REST allows the retrieval of entire records in various formats like JSON, CSV, TXT, and SDF. For example, to retrieve the record for aspirin (CID 2244) in SDF format:

result <- get_pug_rest(identifier = "2244", namespace = "cid", domain = "compound", output = "SDF")

Multiple records can also be requested in a single call, though large lists may be subject to timeouts.

2. Images: Images of chemical structures can be retrieved by specifying PNG format. This works with various input methods, including chemical names, SMILES strings, and InChI keys. For example, to get an image for the chemical name “lipitor”:

get_pug_rest(identifier = "lipitor", namespace = "name", domain = "compound", output = "PNG")
#> 
#>  An object of class 'PugRestInstance'
#> 
#>  Request Details:  
#>   - Domain: Compound
#>   - Namespace: Name
#>   - Operation: <NULL>
#>   - Identifier: lipitor
#> 
#>  NOTE: Run getter function 'pubChemData(...)' to extract raw data retrieved from PubChem Database. 
#>        See ?pubChemData for details.

3. Compound Properties: Pre-computed properties for PubChem compounds are accessible individually or in tables. For instance, to get the molecular weight of a compound:

result <- get_pug_rest(identifier = "2244", namespace = "cid", domain = "compound", property = "MolecularWeight", output = "TXT")
result
#> 
#>  An object of class 'PugRestInstance'
#> 
#>  Request Details:  
#>   - Domain: Compound
#>   - Namespace: CID
#>   - Operation: <NULL>
#>   - Identifier: 2244
#> 
#>  NOTE: Run getter function 'pubChemData(...)' to extract raw data retrieved from PubChem Database. 
#>        See ?pubChemData for details.
pubChemData(result)
#>     Text
#> 1 180.16

Or to retrieve a CSV table of multiple compounds and properties:

result <- get_pug_rest(identifier = c("1","2","3","4","5"), namespace = "cid", domain = "compound", property = c("MolecularWeight", "MolecularFormula", "HBondDonorCount", "HBondAcceptorCount", "InChIKey", "InChI"), output = "CSV")

These examples illustrate the versatility of PUG REST in fetching specific data efficiently. It’s an ideal tool for users who need quick access to particular pieces of information from the vast PubChem database without the overhead of processing bulk data.

3.3. BioAssays

PubChem BioAssays are complex entities containing a wealth of data. PUG REST provides access to both complete assay records and specific components of BioAssay data, allowing users to efficiently retrieve the information they need.

1. Assay Description: To obtain the description section of a BioAssay, which includes authorship, general description, protocol, and data readout definitions, use a request like:

result <- get_pug_rest(identifier = "504526", namespace = "aid", domain = "assay", operation = "description", output = "JSON")

#> [7] "Assay Rationale and Summary:  Currently, there are no commercially available vaccines to protect humans against Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality and is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among infants and children under one year of age.  Nevertheless, severe lower respiratory tract disease may occur at any age, especially among the elderly or among those with compromised cardiac, pulmonary, or immune systems. The existing therapies for the acute infection are ribavirin and the prophylactic humanized monoclonal antibody (Synagis from MedImmune) that is limited to use in high risk pediatric patients.  The economic impact of RSV infections due to hospitalizations and indirect medical costs is greater than $ 650 million annually.  The assay provider has developed and validated an HTS assay that measures cytopathic effect (CPE) induced in HEp-2 cells by RSV infection, using a luminescent-based detection system for signal endpoint.  We anticipate that the proposed studies utilizing the Molecular Libraries Probes Production Network (MLPCN) HTS resources will generate multiple scaffolds targeting various junctures in the RSV viral lifecycle.  These may be furthered developed into probes to construct novel single or combination therapeutics.  "

Results are reported as percent (%) CPE inhibition and were calculated using the following formula: % CPE inhibition = 100*(Test Cmpd - Med Virus)/(Med Cells - Med Virus).  Four ribavirin positive control wells were included on each plate for quality control purposes. To quantify the viral cytopathic effect, IC50s were calculated for each substance using the 4 parameter Levenburg-Marquardt algorithm with the minimum and  maximum parameters locked at 0 and 100, respectively.

Compounds in the primary screen are scored on a scale of 0-40 based on inhibitory activity where a score of 40 corresponds to 100% inhibition. In the initial confirmatory dose response screen, active compounds were scored on a scale of 41-80 based on the IC50 result while compounds that did not confirm as actives were given the score of 0. In assays using purified and synthesized compounds a scale of 81-100 based on the IC50 result is used to denote a high level of confidence in both the substance and the data. Compounds that did not confirm activity were given the score of 0."

#>  [7] "Streptococcus pneumonia (SP) takes the lives of nearly 4,000 people daily and antibiotic resistant strains are becoming an increasing problem. Because of this, the discovery of drugs targeting novel pathways such as the mevalonate pathway has become increasingly important. The pathway produces isopentyl diphosphate (the molecular building block of isoprenoids) and is essential for the survival of the pathogen in mouse lung and serum. The mevalonate pathway is comprised of three consecutive reactions that are catalyzed by the enzymes mevalonate kinase (MK; E.C. 2.7.1.36), phosphomevalonate kinase (PMK; E.C. 2.7.4.2), and diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase (PDM-DC; E.C. 4.1.1.33). MK catalyzes the ATP dependent conversion of (R)-mevalonate to ADP plus (R)-5-phosphomevalonate. "

#> [11] "A total of 57 compounds were initially screened at a final concentration of 100 uM. Compounds with more than 20% inhibition at 100 uM were then tested in dose response assays at seven concentrations, ranging from 100 uM to 0.0156 uM depending on the % inhibition for each compound in the initial 100 uM screen. To confirm that the compounds were specifically inhibiting MK and not one of the other enzymes in the assay, the compounds were tested in parallel in an assay that contained hexokinase as the enzyme instead of MK and glucose as the substrate instead of mevalonate.  None of the compounds tested inhibited in this 'coupling enzymes' assay."

#> [5] "590 uL of MK reagent mix which included NADH, mevalonate, ATP, phosphoenolpyruvate, MgCl2, KCl, pyruvate kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase in buffer was added to each UV-VIS semimicro cuvet. Compounds were then added to the cuvets in 10 uL volumes in DMSO. The reaction was initiated with the addition of 400 uL of MK, diluted in assay buffer. The final concentrations in the reaction were 0.4 mM NADH, 0.2 mM melalonate, 6 mM MgCl2, 50 mM KCl, 5 mM ATP, 2 mM potassium phosphoenolpyruvate, 3 units/mL each of rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase and rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase, 1% DMSO, and 60 nM Mevalonate Kinase (MK) diluted in 50 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.8) in a final volume of 1000 uL. The cuvets were immediately transferred to a CARY 3E UV-Visible Spectrophotometer and absorbance was measured at 340 nm for 3 minutes.  Each compound was tested in triplicate for the initial 100 uM screen and for the dose response assays each concentration was in triplicate.
