Abstract

Better the drugs you know than the drugs you do not know. Drug repurposing is a promising, fast, and cost effective method that can overcome traditional de novo drug discovery and development challenges of targeting neuropsychiatric and other disorders. Drug discovery and development targeting neuropsychiatric disorders are complicated because of the limitations in understanding pathophysiological phenomena. In addition, traditional de novo drug discovery and development are risky, expensive, and time-consuming processes. One alternative approach, drug repurposing, has emerged taking advantage of off-target effects of the existing drugs. In order to identify new opportunities for the existing drugs, it is essential for us to understand the mechanisms of action of drugs, both biologically and pharmacologically. By doing this, drug repurposing would be a more effective method to develop drugs against neuropsychiatric and other disorders. Here, we review the difficulties in drug discovery and development in neuropsychiatric disorders and the extent and perspectives of drug repurposing.

药物再利用是开发神经精神疾病药物的新机遇。
了解药物胜过不了解药物。药物再利用是一种前景广阔、快速且具有成本效益的方法,可以克服传统的从头开始药物发现和开发过程中针对神经精神疾病和其他疾病的挑战。由于对病理生理现象的理解有限,针对神经精神疾病的药物发现和开发非常复杂。此外,传统的新药发现和开发过程风险高、成本高、耗时长。利用现有药物的非靶向效应,药物再利用成为一种替代方法。为了为现有药物寻找新的机会,我们必须从生物学和药理学两方面了解药物的作用机制。通过这样做,药物再利用将成为开发治疗神经精神疾病和其他疾病药物的更有效方法。在此,我们回顾了神经精神疾病药物发现和开发的困难,以及药物再利用的程度和前景。
