Target deconvolution of HDAC pharmacopoeia reveals MBLAC2 as common off-target. [PDF]
Drugs that target histone deacetylase (HDAC) entered the pharmacopoeia in the 2000s. However, some enigmatic phenotypes suggest off-target engagement. Here, we developed a quantitative chemical proteomics assay using immobilized HDAC inhibitors and mass spectrometry that we deployed to establish the target landscape of 53 drugs.

Exploiting polypharmacology for drug target deconvolution. [PDF]
Significance Protein kinase inhibitors represent a major class of anticancer drugs, which are notoriously unspecific. Efforts to exploit the polypharmacology of inhibitors for target deconvolution have met with little success. Our significant contribution is to apply regularized regression to kinase expression and kinase profiling on ...

Affinity-based target deconvolution of safranal. [PDF]
AbstractBackground and the purpose of the studyAffinity-based target deconvolution is an emerging method for the identification of interactions between drugs/drug candidates and cellular proteins, and helps to predict potential activities and side effects of a given compound. In the present study, we hypothesized that a part of safranal pharmacological

Target deconvolution studies of (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine: an elusive search. [PDF]
The off-label use of racemic ketamine and the FDA approval of (S)-ketamine are promising developments for the treatment of depression. Nevertheless, racemic ketamine and (S)-ketamine are controlled substances with known abuse potential and their use is associated with undesirable side effects.

Validation of solvent proteome profiling for antimalarial drug target deconvolution. [PDF]
Abstract Malaria remains a global health threat, with rising drug resistance accelerating the urgent need for new therapeutics. Target elucidation is a critical step in antimalarial drug discovery, enabling a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of action of both existing and novel compounds.

Elucidating the Mechanisms of Action of Antimicrobial Agents
Despite the ever-growing antibiotic resistance crisis, the rate at which new antimicrobials are being discovered and approved for human use has rapidly declined over the past 75 years. A barrier for advancing newly identified antibiotics beyond discovery

A brief introduction to chemical proteomics for target deconvolution.
Drug-target relationships provide the basis for network-based polypharmacology, and target deconvolution is a key step in phenotypic-screening based drug discovery. Due to the complexity of the mammalian proteomics and the often-limited affinity of the lead compound, it is challenging to identify the drug targets, especially when the goal is to ...
