At present, the conventional de novo drug discovery process requires an average of about 14 years and US$2.5 billion to approve and launch a drug. Drug repositioning can reduce the time and cost of this process because it takes advantage of drugs already in clinical use for other indications or drugs that have cleared phase I safety trials but have failed to show efficacy in the intended diseases. Historically, drug repositioning has been realized through serendipitous clinical observations or improved understanding of disease mechanisms. However, recent technological advances have enabled a more systematic approach to drug repositioning. This eBook collects 16 articles from 112 authors, providing readers with current advances and future perspectives of drug repositioning. 517 $aDrug Repositioning 606 $aPharmacology$2bicssc 610 $acomputational analysis 610 $adata sharing 610 $adatabase 610 $aDrug Repositioning 610 $aIntegrative strategies 610 $amolecular docking 610 $amulti-omics 610 $aPatenting 610 $apolypharmacology 615 7$aPharmacology 700 $aYuhei Nishimura$4auth$01305940 702 $aHideaki Hara$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346734903321 996 $aDrug Repositioning: Current Advances and Future Perspectives$93028044 997 $aUNINA
