The measurement of cell-based molecular bioactivity (CMB) is critical for almost every step of drug development. With the booming application of AI in biomedicine, it is essential to have the CMB data to promote the learning of cell-based patterns for guiding modern drug discovery, but no database providing such information has been constructed yet. In this study, we introduce MolBiC, a knowledge base designed to describe valuable data on molecular bioactivity measured within a cellular context. MolBiC features 550 093 experimentally validated CMBs, encompassing 321 086 molecules and 2666 targets across 988 cell lines. Our MolBiC database is unique in describing the valuable data of CMB, which meets the critical demands for CMB-based big data promoting the learning of cell-based molecular/pharmaceutical pattern in drug discovery and development. MolBiC is now freely accessible without any login requirement at: https://idrblab.org/MolBiC/.

The properties, applications, and in vitro bioactivities of turmeric, turmeric essential oil (TEO), and turmeric essential oil by-products (TEO-BP) were evaluated using sensory analysis, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS), and electronic nose techniques. A total of 62 and 66 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), primarily terpenoids and sesquiterpenoids, were identified by GC-MS and GC-IMS, respectively. Distillation temperature, particularly at 90 °C, significantly influenced the color and organoleptic properties of TEO, with variations in VOC profiles driving these differences.
