Virtual screening-based molecular similarity and fingerprint are crucial in drug design, target prediction, and ADMET prediction, aiding in identifying potential hits and optimizing lead compounds. However, challenges such as lack of comprehensive open-source molecular fingerprint databases and efficient search methods for virtual screening are prevalent. To address these issues, we introduce FaissMolLib, an open-source virtual screening tool that integrates 2.8 million compounds from ChEMBL and ZINC databases...
