description: " KEGG DGROUP contains structurally and functionally related groups of\
  \ D number entries in KEGG DRUG. There are five types of drug groups.\n\n    Chemical\
  \ - grouped as identical chemical structures with minor variations of salts, hydration\
  \ states, etc.\n    Structure - grouped as similar chemical structures having the\
  \ same skeleton, etc.\n    Target - grouped by drug targets\n    Class - drug classes\
  \ often representing similar mechanisms of action\n    Metabolism - grouped by substrates,\
  \ inhibitors and inducers of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters\n\nChemical\
  \ groups are often used for identifying essentially the same active ingredients\
  \ of drugs in different countries."
