siRNA Genome Screening Approaches to Therapeutic Drug Repositioning
Bridging high-throughput screening (HTS) with RNA interference (RNAi) has allowed for rapid discovery of the molecular basis of many diseases, and identification of potential pathways for developing safe and effective treatments. These features have identified new host gene targets for existing drugs paving the pathway for therapeutic drug repositioning. Using RNAi to discover and help validate...
متن کاملDrug repositioning approaches to parasitic diseases: a medicinal chemistry perspective.
Identifying new indications for clinically useful drugs is a worthwhile approach for neglected tropical diseases. The number of successful repurposing cases in the field is growing as not-for-profit organizations, in association with academia and pharmaceutical companies, enable screening campaigns for the identification of new repositioning candidates. Current programs have delivered encouragi...
متن کاملTherapeutic approaches to drug targets in hyperlipidemia
Hyperlipidemia is a metabolic syndrome characterized by diverse lipid profiles (e.g. hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and familial combined hyperlipidemia) and may have significant adverse effects on health (e.g. atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity). Both genetic and environmental components are associated with hyperlipidemia sub-types. Eff...
متن کاملO-3: Drug Repositioning by Merging Gene Expression Data Analysis and Cheminformatics Target Prediction Approaches
The transcriptional responses of drug treatments combined with a protein target prediction algorithm was utilised to associate compounds to biological genomic space. This enabled us to predict efficacy of compounds in cMap and LINCS against 181 databases of diseases extracted from GEO. 18/30 of top drugs predicted for leukemia (e.g. Leflunomide and Etoposide) and breast cancer (e.g. Tamoxifen a...
متن کاملSecured therapeutic applications for drug repositioning on the cloud computing
Computing is virtually invading all domains of businesses and the Pharmaceutical Industry is in fact the latest one to join this elite club that utilizes the cloud phenomenon to improve productivity and efficiency of pharmaceutical processes. From the existing drug, discovering a new drug with the help of cloud computing makes the production of drug as cost effective and minimize time to develo...
