2022 SAP A drug-target prioritization strategy using the TDR Targets database leads to novel trypanocidal compounds with known active functional groups

Only got two mins? The drug repurposing approach to drug discovery for neglected diseases has shown to be effective to find potential therapeutic agents. For Chagas disease, in particular, with some of these agents even making it to clinical trials. We have shown that a programmatic approach for drug repurposing, using intensive chemogenic data integration strategies, can recall known bioactive compounds and druggable targets for a selected pathogen species, and can also recommend novel drug-target pairs for further experimental validation (Berenstein et al, 2016).
