Increasing numbers of proteins, nucleic acids and other molecular entities have been explored as therapeutic targets, hundreds of which are targets of approved and clinical trial drugs. Knowledge of these targets and corresponding drugs, particularly those in clinical uses and trials, is highly useful for facilitating drug discovery. Therapeutic Target Database (TTD) has been developed to provide information about therapeutic targets and corresponding drugs. In order to accommodate increasing…

This review summarizes structural characteristics of protein targets and common mechanisms of drug interactions, and describes the impact of coding mutations on protein structures and drug response.

Applications of Genome-Wide Screening and Systems Biology Approaches in Drug Repositioning

The current issues associated with drug repositioning are discussed in light of curated high-throughput multi-omic databases, genome-wide screening technologies, and their application in systems biology/medicine approaches.

Rational drug repositioning guided by an integrated pharmacological network of protein, disease and drug

By combining PharmDB, an integrated tripartite database, with Shared Neighborhood Scoring (SNS) algorithm, a knowledge platform to rationally identify new indications for known FDA approved drugs is developed, which can be customized to specific projects using manual curation.
