What's the relationship between Drugbank drugs and SMPDB pathways?

In the 'pathway browse' panel SMPDB pathways and their corresponding Drugbank drugs are listed.

What are the relationships between the drugs and the pathways?

Some listed drugs are not in the pathway and some drugs in the pathway are not listed.

Thanks for any help provided.

Doesn't pathway refers to the way/path a drug works? In that way, many drugs can be mapped to the same pathway. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks, cdsouthan.

The reply from drugbank:

Thanks for your question. We developed SMPDB separate from DrugBank several years ago, and only recently began to integrate the two databases. In time, there will be a closer link between the two databases conceptually.

If you have any further questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me.
