Some time ago, I chanced upon Collaborative Drug Discovery, which “enables scientists to archive, mine, and collaborate to more effectively develop new drug candidates for commercial and humanitarian markets.”. You have to pay a fee to register (trial accounts are registered free).
The organization is targeted at academics
Collaborative Drug Discovery, Inc. (CDD) has developed a customizable, web-based database to archive, mine, and collaborate around pre-clinical drug discovery chemical and biological data. CDD helps distributed research groups to store and analyze both low-throughput and high-throughput screens including small molecule, enzyme, cell and animal bioactivity data. Create your own virtual drug discovery networks to speed your research and increase your impact.
The service allows you to archive, mine and collaborate, all over the web.
The cool part. I found it while searching my network via Lijit because Jean-Claude had mentioned it in a blog post. I am not aware what the pricing or the user experience is like, but you know who does

CDD does now have a portion of their database that is open to the public after a free registration. They have been particularly interesting for UsefulChem because they have several malaria researchers involved. Up till recently CDD has not been a good fit for us because the pay to publish model was not a direction that was consistent with where we are headed.
We now have the use of an account at no charge and we will be depositing assay results as we get them. I’ll be sure to comment on how that goes.
