Chen H, Zhang Z.
PMID: 25789319
Biomed Res Int. 2015;2015:406463. doi: 10.1155/2015/406463. Epub 2015 Feb 19.

Increasing evidence discovered that the inappropriate expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) will lead to many kinds of complex diseases and drugs can regulate the expression level of miRNAs. Therefore human diseases may be treated by targeting some specific miRNAs with...

Mantra 2.0: an online collaborative resource for drug mode of action and repurposing by network analysis.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)

Carrella D, Napolitano F, Rispoli R, Miglietta M, Carissimo A, Cutillo L, Sirci F, Gregoretti F, Di Bernardo D.
PMID: 24558125
Bioinformatics. 2014 Jun 15;30(12):1787-8. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btu058. Epub 2014 Feb 20.

SUMMARY: Elucidation of molecular targets of a compound [mode of action (MoA)] and its off-targets is a crucial step in drug development. We developed an online collaborative resource (MANTRA 2.0) that supports this process by exploiting similarities between drug-induced...

Buying time: Drug repurposing to treat the host in COVID-19H.

Curr Med Chem. 2021;28(1):181-195. doi: 10.2174/0929867327666200128111925.

Computational approaches have been proven to be complementary tools of interest in identifying potential candidates for drug repurposing. However, although the methods developed so far offer interesting opportunities and could contribute to solving issues faced by the pharmaceutical sector,...

Predicting associations among drugs, targets and diseases by tensor decomposition for drug repositioning.

BMC bioinformatics

Wang R, Li S, Cheng L, Wong MH, Leung KS.
PMID: 31839008
BMC Bioinformatics. 2019 Dec 16;20:628. doi: 10.1186/s12859-019-3283-6.

BACKGROUND: Development of new drugs is a time-consuming and costly process, and the cost is still increasing in recent years. However, the number of drugs approved by FDA every year per dollar spent on development is declining. Drug repositioning,...

Drug databases and their contributions to drug repurposing.

Genomics
