Drug Repurposing and Computational Drug Discovery: Strategies and Advances
The computational approach of drug repurposing is also known as “in silico
drug repurposing,” which belongs to the field of computational pharmacology.
This approach is classified into two parts – the first being the discovery of
new indications for an existing drug (drug centric) and the second one is the
identification of effective drugs for a disease (disease centric).
for the failure or success of drug development. Therefore, in silico techniques
have been widely recognized and the drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) properties are being considered at an
early stage to reduce failure rates in the clinical phase of drug discovery. Some
important tools and techniques used during in silico approaches are as follows:
• Molecular modeling: Molecular modeling focuses on predicting the
strength of the interaction between a potent molecule and a transporter
or metabolic enzyme.
• QSAR: It is used for the prediction of the pharmacokinetic properties
relying mainly on traditional models or constructed data sets developed using the software.
• PBPK: It has been used to predict pharmacokinetics by using some
software programs.
• ADMET: ADMET properties play a significant role and can be
predicted using online software.
• Molecular docking: It focuses on the physical interactions between
plausible drugs and their specific targets. Here, the chemical and
physical binding of drugs to the protein of interest is studied.
• MD simulations: MD simulation represents a proper way to study atomic-
level information about binding of ligands to targeted proteins. On the
basis of MD trajectories, the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD), rootmean-square fluctuation (RMSF), the radius of gyration (Rg), number of
hydrogen bonds and binding free energy of the complexes are predicted
to analyze and get insight into their structural stabilities, binding modes,
and binding strengths of the designed drug candidates.

of the drug development process have been observed by integration or adoption of drug repositioning. Repurposed drugs are already toxicologically
assessed and consideration of all safety measurements reduces the chances
of failure to a great extent. Known drugs with new targets or those with
known mechanisms for new indications are considered in the repurposing or
repositioning of drugs.
32
Drug companies have lots of advantages with drug repositioning because
new drug synthesis using conventional technology is a time-consuming
33
process.
However, the high rate of drug failure of newly synthesized drugs
causes a major reason for using the repositioning strategy. A new drug can be
obtained by better treatment options with comparatively low cost as well as
a low time consumption period.

Increasing interest in drug repositioning has been developed due to the
sustained high failure rates and costs required to bring new drugs to market.
In the case of anti-inflammatory drugs, the risk is amplified by the looming
threat of drug resistance and the pressing need for flawless strategies to
tackle the problem. Indeed, in all likelihood, it requires a widespread effort
from public-private partnerships, non-profit groups, academic researchers,
and companies to successfully investigate and approve drugs for other indications. Academic laboratories and small biotech companies have frequently
discovered new activities for existing drugs, but the translation of these
discoveries to the clinic requires additional sophistication available with
large pharmaceutical companies. There was hope that led discovery based
on drug repurposing could deliver the next generation of anti-inflammatory
agents. Indeed, new momentum is emerging from government-led initiatives
such as the NIH program, the National Center for Advancing Translational
Science, and more recently, the Medical Research Council in the United
Kingdom has invested in this area. Overall, these initiatives lend credence

144
Drug Repurposing and Computational Drug Discovery: Strategies and Advances
to the potential of drug repurposing and should encourage repurposing in
academia and large pharmaceutical companies alike.

ABSTRACT
The recent reports on developments in pharmaceutical research shows a
decline in success of new pharmaceutical compounds in market last ten years
due to which the time of new drug development also increased from 9 to 14
years. Drug repurposing is a method to use old drugs by repositioning them,
which can reduce the new drug development time and cost. Drug repurposing
also helps in predicting new therapeutic potentials of old drugs approved by
FDA. Some of the commonly repurposed drugs are: metformin designed for
diabetes type 2, now repurposed for cancer therapeutic and under clinical
trial phase III, sildenafil and thalidomide designed for sickness and angina
now repurposed for leprosy and erectile dysfunction. Due to limited data
availability on cardiovascular profile of anti-inflammatory drugs the use of

these drugs are limited. Drug repurposing is a great tool to identify safety of
different drugs in CVD condition. The data of different studies available till
now shows possibility of monoclonal antibodies as target therapy for CVDs
in coming years. Data of anti-inflammatory drugs like colchicine that have
been repurposed for CVDs shows promising results in patients of STEMI.
Similarly Metformin, an anti-diabetic drug also shows effective inflammatory process control and cardioprotective properties. The future studies need
more evidences from clinical trials to better repurpose these drugs and their
approval to be used in CVDs.

7.1.1 CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS AND ITS CLASSIFICATION
Cardiovascular disorders (CVDs) are a cluster of diseases including injuries

that affect heart and blood vessels or cardiovascular system.
The risk of
cardiovascular disease increases with age and most cardiologists believe
that after 35 years of age if any risk related to CVDs present confirms the
4–5
beginning of CVDs already begins.
CVDs are one of the leading causes of
deaths around the world. The global burden of cardiovascular disease is on
rise, especially in high-income countries at an alarming rate during the last
decade.6 The prevalence of CVDs increased from 257 million to 285 million
in the last five years and the total death increased from 12.1 million to 19.7
million in the last decade.

CVDs are classied on the basis of cardiovascular system affected. Some
of the types are congenital heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, coronary

Congenital heart disease (CHD), also referred to as atherosclerotic heart

occur in the last state of disease and in most cases it remains silent and
sudden heart attack only reveals its presence and ruptured plaque causes
blockage in blood ow resulting in sudden death.10 Peripheral arterial
disease is caused by blockage due to fatty material built up in peripheral
arterial supplying blood to legs. These blockages further narrow the arteries
supplying blood to heart causing angina or sudden heart attack.
