Insilico Identification of Putative Drug Targets in Mycoplasma Hominis Using Differential Metabolic Pathway Analysis
Mycoplasma hominis is a urogenital bacterium which is pathogenic for humans. Lack of cell wall and high mutation rates have made M.hominis resistant to many of the available antibiotics. Novel drug target identification is indispensable for the development of new classes of drugs to make the existing treatments more efficient and to replace drug resistance. Identification of genes that are like...
متن کاملActionable pathways: interactive discovery of therapeutic targets using signaling pathway models
The discovery of actionable targets is crucial for targeted therapies and is also a constituent part of the drug discovery process. The success of an intervention over a target depends critically on its contribution, within the complex network of gene interactions, to the cellular processes responsible for disease progression or therapeutic response. Here we present PathAct, a web server that p...
متن کاملMetabolic Alterations of Thyroid Cancer as Potential Therapeutic Targets
Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most frequent endocrine tumor with a growing incidence worldwide. Besides the improvement of diagnosis, TC increasing incidence is probably due to environmental factors and lifestyle modifications. The actual diagnostic criteria for TC classification are based on fine needle biopsy (FNAB) and histological examination following thyroidectomy. Since in some cases it is ...
متن کاملDiscovery of Anthelmintic Drug Targets and Drugs Using Chokepoints in Nematode Metabolic Pathways
Parasitic roundworm infections plague more than 2 billion people (1/3 of humanity) and cause drastic losses in crops and livestock. New anthelmintic drugs are urgently needed as new drug resistance and environmental concerns arise. A "chokepoint reaction" is defined as a reaction that either consumes a unique substrate or produces a unique product. A chokepoint analysis provides a systematic me...
متن کاملMetabolic pathways as possible therapeutic targets for progressive multiple sclerosis
Unlike relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, there are very few therapeutic options for patients with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis. While immune mechanisms are key participants in the pathogenesis of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, the mechanisms underlying the development of progressive multiple sclerosis are less well understood. Putative mechanisms behind progressive mul...
