Help building a database of organic compounds used in pharmaceuticals

In summary, the purpose of building a database of organic compounds used in pharmaceuticals is to provide a centralized and organized collection of information to aid in drug discovery, development, and production processes. The database will be constructed by compiling information from various sources and maintained by a team of experts. It will include information on chemical structures, properties, uses, and possibly biological activities and safety profiles. Access to the database will be granted to researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and other relevant parties, but privacy and confidentiality will be ensured through strict policies and authorization processes.

Hello Guys,

So I'm trying to build a database of organic compounds that are of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Most importantly compounds containing heteroatoms (>= 15% by mass). Where do i start!? any good websites or books, with a useful appendix you can tell me about?
I would really appreciate your feedback!

Cheers

There are already huge databases like the one you are trying to make, and they are maintained by the large teams.

Go to chemspider.com (one of the free examples) and browse the data they show, they are already collected from many sources.
