Recommendations include reducing the number of drugs or drug classes introduced to students, highlighting important drugs or classes, enhancing the visibility of pharmacology in the curriculum, and educating and supporting staff when preparing teaching sessions that involve pharmacology.

Many repurposed drugs have been discovered by serendipity or a non-ordered process driven by chance and sharp observation. These discoveries provide strong evidence for the existence of pharmacological pleiotropy, a highly ordered process well described by thermodynamics. Pleiotropy is an efficient way of propagating information and maintaining the specificity of a biological message and has been a cornerstone in genetics research over decades. While the definition, scale, diversity, and complexity associated with drug repurposing are well documented, pharmaceutical pleiotropy that is fundamental to our understanding of drug repurposing remains less explored. In this review, we examine pharmacological pleiotropy and its underpinning thermodynamics in drug repurposing. Additionally, we have drawn upon the universality of thermodynamics to provide insights into pharmaceutical pleiotropy. We suggest that, in serendipitous drug discovery, information in the repurposed drug often exceeds what was thought available with the rational design of the drug. Our interest in repurposing is on leveraging this information and knowledge generally once a therapeutic benefit from a new chemical entity (NCE) has been demonstrated. This requires a different process from standard drug discovery, and this repurposed pathway is the focus of our manuscript. In this review, we propose that drug repurposing can be defined using Information theory (Shannon entropy), Boltzmann statistical entropy, and the thermodynamic principles for spontaneity described by Gibbs free energy of binding. We conclude that therapeutics including repurposed drugs are facilitators of information and instructional transfer and that the distinguishing features of pharmacology, Information theory, and statistical mechanics are intimately linked. With advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, with their strong links to Information theory and statistical mechanics, now is an appropriate time to further explore these relationships.</p>","PeriodicalId":19948,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacology Research & Perspectives","volume":"13 4","pages":"e70158"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144732709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study included 233 patients diagnosed with ED. Sociodemographic and clinical data were recorded. MA was assessed using the Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS). Additionally, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ), the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ), and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) were employed to evaluate patients' perceptions and beliefs regarding their condition and treatment. The influence of these factors on MA was thoroughly analyzed. High MA was reported in 136 (58.4%) of 233 patients. Factors, such as education level, monthly income, frequency of medical examinations, smoking habits, and a history of radical pelvic surgery, were found to influence MA (p < 0.05) significantly. Multivariate analysis identified monthly income and radical pelvic surgery history as statistically significant predictors of adherence (p ≤ 0.05). Additionally, adherence was significantly associated with IIEF scores, five items on the B-IPQ, and the BMQ subscales, including specific concerns, necessity, and general harm (p < 0.05). Tadalafil OaD demonstrates acceptable rates of MA in the treatment of ED. Socioeconomic and clinical factors, patients' cognitive and sensory status, and perceptions regarding medications and healthcare providers significantly influence adherence.
