Correction to: Acta Pharmacologica Sinica https://doi.org/10.1038/s41401-019-0231-y, published online 28 May 2019.

Due to an error in the typesetting process, the number of the synthetic and natural product-derived compounds used in this study was wrong. The correct number is 335 098 not 335 0988 (in page 1246). The editor proved that the number is correct in the original paper. The editor sincerely apologizes for the mistake and any inconvenience this might have caused.
