Repurposing the FDA-Approved Pinworm Drug Pyrvinium as a Novel Chemotherapeutic Agent for Intestinal Polyposis
Mutations in the WNT-pathway regulator ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS COLI (APC) promote aberrant activation of the WNT pathway that is responsible for APC-associated diseases such as Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) and 85% of spontaneous colorectal cancers (CRC). FAP is characterized by multiple intestinal adenomas, which inexorably result in CRC. Surprisingly, given their common occurrence, there...
متن کاملRepurposing FDA-approved drugs to combat drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.
OBJECTIVE The rising occurrence of drug-resistant pathogens accentuates the need to identify novel antibiotics. We wanted to identify new scaffolds for drug discovery by repurposing FDA-approved drugs against Acinetobacter baumannii, an emerging Gram-negative nosocomial drug-resistant pathogen. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we screened 1040 FDA-approved drugs against drug-susceptible A...
متن کاملFDA approved drugs repurposing of Toll-like receptor4 (TLR4) candidate for neuropathy
Accumulating evidence indicates that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays a critical role in promoting adaptive immune responses and are definitively involved in the expansion and maintenance of the neuropathic pain. However, the application of docking in virtual-screening in silico methods to drug discovery has some challenge but it allows us to make the directed and meaningful design of drugs fo...

متن کاملRepurposing of FDA-approved drugs against cancer – focus on metastasis
in the field of anti-cancer drug development. Drug repurposing may allow progressing through the drug development process more quickly as well as reducing project costs compared to traditional de novo drug discovery. One of the main reasons why a non-cancer drug may prove effective against cancer is that not all of its biological targets may have been identified when the drug was originally dev...
