Drug Target Commons: A Community Effort to Build a Consensus Knowledge Base for Drug-Target Interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Knowledge of the full target space of bioactive substances, approved and investigational drugs as well as chemical probes, provides important insights into therapeutic potential and possible adverse effects. The existing compound-target bioactivity data resources are often incomparable due to non-standardized and heterogeneous assay types and variability in endpoint measurements. To extract higher value from the existing and future compound target-profiling data, we implemented an open-data web platform, named Drug Target Commons (DTC), which features tools for crowd-sourced compound-target bioactivity data annotation, standardization, curation, and intra-resource integration. We demonstrate the unique value of DTC with several examples related to both drug discovery and drug repurposing applications and invite researchers to join this community effort to increase the reuse and extension of compound bioactivity data.

Reconstruction annotation jamborees: a community approach to systems biology
Genome-scale metabolic network reconstructions represent biochemical, genetic, and genomic (BiGG) knowledge bases for a target organism (Reed et al, 2006). Thus, they correspond to two-dimensional genome annotations: that is, they contain all nodes and links that comprise a biochemical reaction network defined by the genome (Palsson, 2004). These reconstructions allow the conversion of biologic...

Background and purpose: Drugs are essential components of health services in all communities and pharmacists play a major role in delivering appropriate health care. There are lack of comprehensive studies on the knowledge, attitude, and practice of pharmacists in dealing with prescription drugs in Mazandaran province, Iran, so, this study aimed at assessing the performance of pharmacists on th...
متن کاملKnowledge of Kerman General Practitioners about Tramadol in 2004
Background: Tramadol is an opioid analgesic indicated for the management of moderate and severe pains. Its side effects, in parts are due to the activation of µ receptors and in parts to increasing central catecholamine and serotonin levels. In the case of long administration, tramadol has a potential to cause dependency, tolerance and also drug abuse. After prohibition of injective diclofenac,...
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 کاملA Thermodynamic Study of the Interactions between Acetamide Derivatives and PCA-PEG-PCA Copolymers: ONIOM Calculations
To improve drug selectivity toward target cells, one interesting approach for drug delivery is to use polymer nanoparticles. A two-layered ONIOM Becke3- LYP: UFF calculation was carried out to study the structural and thermodynamic properties of the interaction between acetamide derivatives and the PCA-PEG-PCA copolymers. The Interaction enthalpies and the Gibbs free energies between acetamide ...
