Drug repurposing, also known as drug repositioning is an approach to identify a novel medical indication for a drug. It may involve identification of a novel clinical use for an existing drug approved for a different indication or even finding clinical use for any unapproved drug. It has many advantages over traditional de novo drug discovery approaches, such as significant reduction of the cost and development time for the drug purposing. Drug repurposing is based on polypharmacology, complex diseases such as cancers and neurodegenerative diseases that involve networks of multiple genes, hence require multiple pharmacophores and system biology-based approaches for their therapeutic application. Advances in computation power and field of computational biology, has brought up various opportunitiesto find new treatments for rare diseases using existing compounds. Many academic research groups and startup companies are actively partaking in drug repurposing. Many pharmaceutical companies have formed partnerships with many of these organizations to help facilitate repurposing oftheir existing products. For instance, in 2016,Sanofi S.A. (Sanofi Genzyme) signed a research agreement with Recursion Pharmaceuticals, LLC to identify new uses for Sanofi’s clinical stage molecules formany genetic diseases. Likewise, Astellas Pharma Inc. also has partnered with Biovista Inc., and NuMedii, Inc. for drug repurposing.
The global drug repurposing market experiences growth due to shorter drug development time for repurposed drugs compared to new chemical entities. In addition, advances in the computational power to process large databases has allowed cost-effective solutions to approach drug development. This further drives the growth of the market. However, limited understanding of polypharmaco logical effects of drugs and lack of trained personnel restrains the growth of the market. In contrast, increase in partnership of pharmaceutical companies among various academic research groups and startups to facilitate drug repurposing activities is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market.
