+        The GDSC drug_info table is a drug-centric metadata table that describes compounds screened across
+          the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) cell-line drug-sensitivity project.
+            Typical columns include unique drug identifiers, canonical names, alternate names/synonyms,
+              molecular or protein targets, higher-level pathways targeted, external chemical identifiers
+                (e.g., PubChem CID), and bookkeeping counts such as sample sizes or number of experiments.
+                  The broader GDSC resource pairs these drug metadata with measured drug response (e.g., IC50)
+                    across hundreds to thousands of cancer cell lines, enabling pharmacogenomic analyses.
