Deep Graph Convolutional Network and LSTM based approach for predicting drug-target binding affinity [PDF]
Development of new drugs is an expensive and time-consuming process. Due to the world-wide SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, it is essential that new drugs for SARS-CoV-2 are developed as soon as possible. Drug repurposing techniques can reduce the time span needed to develop new drugs by probing the list of existing FDA-approved drugs and their properties to reuse

United States FDA drug approvals are persistent and polycyclic: Insights into economic cycles, innovation dynamics, and national policy [PDF]
It is challenging to elucidate the effects of changes in external influences (such as economic or policy) on the rate of US drug approvals. Here, a novel approach, termed the Chronological Hurst Exponent (CHE), is proposed, which hypothesizes that changes in the long-range memory latent within the dynamics of time series data may be temporally ...

DCcov: Repositioning of Drugs and Drug Combinations for SARS-CoV-2 Infected Lung through Constraint-Based Modelling [PDF]
The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) became a worldwide pandemic with currently no effective antiviral drug except treatments for symptomatic therapy. Flux balance analysis is an efficient method to analyze metabolic networks. It allows optimizing for a metabolic function and thus e.g., predicting the growth rate of a specific cell or the production

NeuroCADR: Drug Repurposing to Reveal Novel Anti-Epileptic Drug Candidates Through an Integrated Computational Approach [PDF]
Drug repurposing is an emerging approach for drug discovery involving the reassignment of existing drugs for novel purposes. An alternative to the traditional de novo process of drug development, repurposed drugs are faster, cheaper, and less failure prone than drugs developed from traditional methods.
