The IUPHAR Guide to Immunopharmacology: Connecting Immunology and Pharmacology. Immunology. 2020 Feb 05;: Authors: Harding SD, Faccenda E, Southan C, Pawson AJ, Maffia P, Alexander SPH, Davenport AP, Fabbro D, Levi-Schaffer F, Spedding M, Davies JA Abstract Given the critical role that the immune system plays in a multitude of diseases, having a clear understanding of the pharmacology of the immune system is crucial to new drug discovery and development. Here we describe the IUPHAR Guide to IMMUNOPHARMACOLOGY (GtoImmuPdb), which connects expert-curated pharmacology with key immunological concepts and aims to put pharmacological data into the hands of immunologists. In the pursuit of new therapeutics, pharmacological databases are a vital resource to researchers through providing accurate information on the fundamental science underlying drug action. This extension to the existing IUPHAR/BPS Guide to PHARMACOLOGY supports research into the development of drugs targeted at modulating immune, inflammatory or infectious components of disease. To provide a deeper context for how the resource can support research we show data in GtoImmuPdb relating to a case study on the targeting of vascular inflammation.
