Abstract Analysis of real-world data (RWD) is attractive for its applicability to scenarios but RWD typically used drug repurposing and not therapeutic target discovery. Repurposing studies have identified few effective options in neuroinflammatory diseases with relatively patients such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which characterized by progressive muscle weakness death no disease-modifying treatments available. We previously reclassified drugs their simulated effects on proteins downstream targets observed class-level the EHR, implicating protein source effect. Here, we developed a novel ALS-focused pathways model using from patient samples, public domain, consortia. With this model, ALS measured class overall survival retrospective EHR studies. an increased non-significant risk taking associated complement system experimentally validated activation. repeated six classes, three which, including multiple chemokine receptors, were significant death, suggesting that targeting receptors could be advantageous these patients. recovered activation Parkinson’s Myasthenia Gravis demonstrated utility network medicine testing believe approach may accelerate discovery diseases, addressing critical need new options.

While various models and computational tools have been proposed for structure property analysis of molecules, generating molecules that conform to all desired structures properties remains a challenge. We introduce multi-constraint molecular generation large language model, TSMMG, which, akin student, incorporates knowledge from small tools, namely, the "teachers." To train we construct set text-molecule pairs by extracting these "teachers," enabling it generate novel descriptions through text prompts. experimentally show TSMMG remarkably performs in meet complex requirements described natural across two-, three-, four-constraint tasks, with an average validity over 99% success ratio 82.58%, 68.03%, 67.48%, respectively. The model also exhibits adaptability zero-shot testing, creating satisfy combinations not encountered. It can comprehend inputs styles, extending beyond confines outlined presents effective using language. This framework is only applicable drug discovery but serves as reference other related fields.

Abstract Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) significantly aggravates human dignity and quality of life. While newly approved amyloid immunotherapy has been reported, effective AD drugs remain to be identified. Here, we propose a novel AI-driven drug-repurposing method, DeepDrug, identify lead combination treat patients. DeepDrug advances methodology in four aspects. Firstly, it incorporates expert knowledge extend candidate targets include long genes, immunological aging pathways, somatic mutation markers that are associated with AD. Secondly, signed directed heterogeneous biomedical graph encompassing rich set nodes edges, node/edge weighting capture crucial pathways Thirdly, encodes the weighted through Graph Neural Network into new embedding space granular relationships across different nodes. Fourthly, systematically selects high-order drug combinations via diminishing return-based thresholds. A five-drug combination, consisting Tofacitinib, Niraparib, Baricitinib, Empagliflozin, Doxercalciferol, selected from top candidates based on scores achieve maximum synergistic effect. These five target neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, glucose metabolism, which all related pathology. offers AI-and-big-data, expert-guided mechanism for discovery other neuro-degenerative diseases, immediate clinical applications.
