Teaching an old dog new tricks: drug repositioning in small cell lung cancer.
Jahchan and colleagues report the use of a biostatistical analysis to identify effective therapeutics for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Their results reveal a new use for the tricyclic antidepressant imipramine in SCLC and shed light on the therapeutic potential of drug repositioning in cancer and other diseases.
متن کاملEvolution of drug resistance in Candida albicans.
The widespread deployment of antimicrobial agents in medicine and agriculture is nearly always followed by the evolution of resistance to these agents in the pathogen. With the limited availability of antifungal drugs and the increasing incidence of opportunistic fungal infections, the emergence of drug resistance in fungal pathogens poses a serious public health concern. Antifungal drug resist...
متن کاملFolate Biosynthesis – Reappraisal of Old and Novel Targets in the Search for New Antimicrobials
Folate biosynthesis remains a key target for antimicrobial therapy. Folate is an essential vitamin (vitamin B9) that is required for many one-carbon transfer reactions and is a critical precursor for the biosynthesis of purines, pyrimidines, and amino acids. Unlike higher eukaryotes that scavenge preformed folates, prokaryotic and lower eukaryotic microorganisms are dependent on several enzymes...
متن کاملOld friends in new guise: repositioning of known drugs with structural bioinformatics
Developing a drug de novo is a laborious and costly endeavor. Thus, the repositioning of already approved drugs for the treatment of new diseases is promising and valuable. One computational approach to repositioning exploits the structural similarity of binding sites of known and new targets. Here, we review computational methods to represent and align binding sites. We review available tools,...

In the case of infection with low-virulence C. albicans, susceptibility and resistance to primary and secondary disseminated infections vary among the different inbred strains of mice. C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice are resistant to primary infection and acquire resistan...
