ChEMBL Web Services

ChEMBL's web services (ebi.ac.uk/chembl) provide keyless REST/XML access to a database of bioactive drug-like small molecules. The documentation says: "ChEMBL is a database of bioactive drug-like small molecules, it contains 2-D structures, calculated properties (e.g. logP, Molecular Weight, Lipinski Parameters, etc.) and abstracted bioactivities (e.g. binding constants, pharmacology and ADMET data)."
