The ChEMBL data curator that flags issues instead of silently dropping them.

``` CAPRICHO (**C**hEMBL **A**ggregation **P**ackage with **R**obust **I**nspection and **C**uration **H**andling **O**ptions) is a Python package that streamlines fetching, curating, and aggregating ChEMBL data into a machine learning-ready format for drug discovery in a flexible and reproducible manner. ## Goals The development of CAPRICHO is guided by two core principles: - **Transparency Above All**: Data curation should never be a black box. Removed data points should be saved to be scrutinized by the user and the original data should be always preserved to ensure data integrity. - **Flexibility by Design**: Every modeling project is unique. The tool must support flexible data collection and aggregation, allowing the incorporation of any ChEMBL metadata column to be incorporated into same-compound bioactivity values. ## Features - Data retrieval by any ChEMBL identifier (molecule IDs, target IDs, assay IDs, or document IDs) - Automated pChEMBL (pXC50) value calculation for bioactivities if not provided through ChEMBL - ADMET data support with unit conversion and non-pChEMBL aggregation - Customizable filtering options - Configurable data aggregation options - Save a fetching and processing recipe for reproducibility - Command-line interface for easy use ```{toctree} :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Contents installation quickstart cli-reference guides/index api/index concepts ```
