{Abstract}: Antioxidants are widely used in the fields of food, medicine, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics. Given their important roles in promoting and maintaining human health, a large number of antioxidants have been reported. Some antioxidant-related databases have been developed; however, the annotation of antioxidants and related information stored in existing databases is incomplete and requires more efficient retrieval methods. This study aimed to develop a manually curated comprehensive antioxidant database (AODB). Currently, it stores 56,666 small molecules tested for antioxidant activity, 1480 antioxidant peptides, and 998 antioxidant proteins, including their structures, names, antioxidant assay records, computable physicochemical and ADMET properties, and sources. AODB supports text search and mining, 2D and 3D chemical structure search, and BLAST-based protein sequence search, enabling users to retrieve antioxidant data quickly and easily. AODB, as a one-stop antioxidant database, can facilitate the exploration of antioxidants and potential applications. AODB is publicly available and updated annually at https://aodb.idruglab.cn/.
