Molecular Property Diagnostic Suite Compound Library (MPDS-CL) is an open-source Galaxy-based cheminformatics web portal which presents a structure-based classification of the molecules. A structure-based classification of nearly 150 million unique compounds, obtained from 42 publicly available databases and curated for redundancy removal through 97 hierarchically well-defined atom composition-based portions, has been done. These are further subjected to 56-bit fingerprint-based classification algorithm which led to the formation of 56 structurally well-defined classes. The classes thus obtained were further divided into clusters based on their molecular weight. Thus, the entire set of molecules was put into 56 different classes and 625 clusters. This led to the assignment of a unique ID, named as MPDS-AadharID, for each of these 149,169,443 molecules. MPDS-AadharID is akin to the unique number given to citizens in India (similar to SSN in the US and NINO in the UK). The unique features of MPDS-CL are (a) several search options, such as exact structure search, substructure search, property-based search, fingerprint-based search, using SMILES, InChIKey and key-in; (b) automatic generation of information for the processing for MPDS and other galaxy tools; (c) providing the class and cluster of a molecule which makes it easier and fast to search for similar molecules and (d) information related to the presence of the molecules in multiple databases. The MPDS-CL can be accessed at https://mpds.neist.res.in:8086/ .
