5. 5CBS, Department of Systems Biology Drug selectivity towards a single target is more often the exception than the rule Many effective drugs act via modulation of multiple targets Some drugs may have yet unknown therapeutic applications(drug repurposing) Many adverse drug reactions are due to activity towards multiple targets Clinical effect of drug compounds

6. 6CBS, Department of Systems Biology Drug repurposing Sildenafil (a.k.a Viagra, Vitamin V, the Blue Pill, etc) –Potent inhibitor of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), an enzyme that regulates blood flow –Initially developed to treat pulmonary hypertension (market name: Revatio) –Sales account for 90% of the global market for erectile dysfunction –Recently discovered uses include alleviation of altitude sickness and jetlag

7. 7CBS, Department of Systems Biology Adverse Drug Reactions Cisapride: serotonin receptor agonist –Relief of gastrointestinal symptoms Astemizole: histamin receptor antagonist –Antihistamine BOTH WITHDRAWN DUE TO INHIBITION OF THE hERG CARDIAC ION CHANNEL
