An in silico drug repositioning workflow for host-based antivirals

Summary: Drug repositioning represents a cost- and time-efficient strategy for drug development. Artificial intelligence-based algorithms have been applied in drug repositioning by predicting drug-target interactions in an efficient and high throughput manner. Here, we present a workflow of in silic...

description Summary: Drug repositioning represents a cost- and time-efficient strategy for drug development. Artificial intelligence-based algorithms have been applied in drug repositioning by predicting drug-target interactions in an efficient and high throughput manner. Here, we present a workflow of in silico drug repositioning for host-based antivirals using specially defined targets, a refined list of drug candidates, and an easily implemented computational framework. The workflow described here can also apply to more general purposes, especially when given a user-defined druggable target gene set.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Li et al. (2021).
