## Dataset Description

**A549 Chemical Perturbation Dataset (SciPlex2)**

This dataset captures transcriptional responses of **A549**, a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line, to drug perturbations. Cells were treated with one of four small molecules:

- **Dexamethasone**, corticosteroid receptor agonist  
- **Nutlin-3a**, p53-MDM2 interaction antagonist  
- **BMS-345541**, inhibitor of NF-κB–dependent transcription  
- **Vorinostat (SAHA)**, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor  

Each compound was applied for **24 hours** across **seven doses**, in **triplicate**, resulting in **84 compound–dose–replicate conditions**, along with additional vehicle controls. Single-cell transcriptional profiles were generated using **sci-RNA-seq**.

## Additional Information

- **Normalized counts** were scaled so that the total expression per cell sums to `1e4`.
- **Control counts** represent the average expression of each gene across all control cells.
- **Delta values** are computed as the difference between each sample's expression and the corresponding control mean.
- **SMILES** strings and **mechanism of action (MoA)** annotations were retrieved from the [ChEMBL](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/) database and enhanced with additional sources.
