Black Turmeric Database
Black Turmeric Database
ABSTRACT
Objective: Most species have their trademark metabolites or a class of chemicals that are generally disseminated inside the genus variety. Secondary
metabolites from the black turmeric are predominantly camphor, terpenes, lactones, alkaloids, and phenols classification. A database was constructed
with the predicted absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and toxicity, druglikeliness, and physiochemical properties of the exclusive black
turmeric 103 compounds.
Methods: The interface has been designed using Microsoft Structured Query Language platform, keeping in mind the ease of use for a researcher. To
support this, the entire set of chemicals and their properties was uploaded in database. Database is used as it is very efficient and supports multiple
users at the same time.
Results: Black turmeric database gives complete data of compounds by means of 4 segments. Physiochemical, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics,
druglikeliness, and molecular information are displayed with chemical structure.
Conclusion: We solidly believe that the information from this database are the sources to infer novel pharmaceutical chemical compounds for
medication.
Keywords: Black turmeric, Natural products, Absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and toxicity and Microsoft Structured Query Language.

Database implementation
The data were stored in a Microsoft SQL server in a windows operating
system. The dataflow is shown in Fig. 1.
Database interface
The database interface is implemented using ASP. This database is
searchable by compound numbers from 1 to 103. In a query, a user can
specify a number in search field. No wild characters were supported in
the search field.
