Chemical and Product Categories (CPCat) database

The EPA CPCat
(Chemical and Product Categories) database was released in May 2014. It maps
>43,000 chemicals to a set of terms categorizing their usage or function. We
have compiled a comprehensive list of chemicals with associated categories of
chemical and product use by compiling publicly available sources. Sources
include, but are not limited to: the Substances in Preparation in Nordic
Countries (SPIN) database, information provided by companies, trade
associations, and regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the DrugBank database of
pharmaceutical products, and information mined from the Aggregated
Computational Toxicology Resource (ACToR) database developed by the U.S. EPA.
Unique use category taxonomies from each source are mapped onto a single common
set of ~800 terms. The user can search for chemicals by chemical name, Chemical
Abstracts Registry Number (CASRN), or by CPCat terms (i.e. category names)
associated with chemicals. See Dionisio et al., 2014 for a full description of
the database, sources used, interpretation of chemical categories, and
potential applications. The .zip file available at the "Download" tab
of this website provides a full copy of the database, available for free
download, which can be freely searched and sorted for data analysis. The .zip
file includes a list of all chemicals included in CPCat. A list of all sources
included in CPCat is provided in the table below.

美国环境保护署（EPA）发布的化学与产品分类（CPCat）数据库于2014年5月正式推出。该数据库将超过43,000种化学物质映射至一系列描述其用途或功能的术语中。通过汇总公开可用的资源，我们编制了一份包含化学物质及其相关化学和产品使用类别的详尽清单。资源包括但不限于：北欧国家制备物质（SPIN）数据库、公司、行业协会及监管机构如美国环保署（EPA）和食品药品监督管理局（FDA）提供的信息、药物银行（DrugBank）数据库以及美国环保署开发的综合计算毒理学资源（ACToR）数据库中挖掘的信息。每个来源的独特用途分类体系被映射至单一的标准术语集，该术语集包含约800个术语。用户可以通过化学物质名称、化学文摘登记号（CASRN）或与化学物质相关的CPCat术语（即分类名称）进行搜索。有关数据库的全面描述、所使用资源、化学类别解释以及潜在应用的详细信息，请参阅Dionisio等人于2014年的研究。该网站“下载”标签页提供的.zip文件包含了数据库的完整副本，可供免费下载，用户可自由搜索和排序以进行数据分析。该.zip文件包含CPCat中所有化学物质的列表，下表提供了CPCat中包含的所有资源列表。
