Autophagic compound database: A resource connecting autophagy‐modulating compounds, their potential targets and relevant diseases

Autophagy, a highly conserved lysosomal degradation process in eukaryotic cells, can digest long‐lived proteins and damaged organelles through vesicular trafficking pathways. Nowadays, mechanisms of autophagy have been gradually elucidated and thus the discovery of small‐molecule drugs targeting autophagy has always been drawing much attention. So far, some autophagy‐related web servers have been available online to facilitate scientists to obtain the information relevant to autophagy conveniently, such as HADb, CTLPScanner, iLIR server and ncRDeathDB. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is not any web server available about the autophagy‐modulating compounds.
