Drug target identification using a trypanosome overexpression library.
Elucidation of molecular targets is very important for lead optimization during the drug development process. We describe a direct method to find targets of antitrypanosomal compounds against Trypanosoma brucei using a trypanosome overexpression library. As proof of concept, we treated the library with difluoromethylornithine and DDD85646 and identified their respective targets, ornithine decar...
متن کاملDrug target identification using side-effect similarity.
Targets for drugs have so far been predicted on the basis of molecular or cellular features, for example, by exploiting similarity in chemical structure or in activity across cell lines. We used phenotypic side-effect similarities to infer whether two drugs share a target. Applied to 746 marketed drugs, a network of 1018 side effect-driven drug-drug relations became apparent, 261 of which are f...
متن کاملUsing Gene networks to drug target identification
The complete genome sequences have provided a plethora of potential drug targets. Gene network technique holds the promise of providing a conceptual framework for analysis of the profusion of biological data being generated on potential drug targets and providing insights to understand the biological regulatory mechanisms in diseases, which are playing an increasingly important role in searchin...
متن کاملUsing grid techniques for drug target identification.
The completion of the sequencing of the human genome has opened an unprecedented opportunity in the discovery of novel drug targets for disease therapy. However, one of the major challenges facing the drug discovery community is the expanding of data and the need of large-scale computational power in a collaborative environment. Grid techniques can present an architectural framework that aims t...
متن کاملTarget identification using drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS).
Identifying the molecular targets for the beneficial or detrimental effects of small-molecule drugs is an important and currently unmet challenge. We have developed a method, drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS), which takes advantage of a reduction in the protease susceptibility of the target protein upon drug binding. DARTS is universally applicable because it requires no modific...
