Background: Drug repositioning is the process of identifying new targets for known drugs. It can be used to overcome problems associated with traditional drug discovery by adapting existing drugs to treat new discovered diseases. Thus, it may reduce associated risk, cost and time required to identify and verify new drugs. Nowadays, drug repositioning has received more attention from industry and academia. To tackle this problem, researchers have applied many different computational methods and have used various features of drugs and diseases.

Recommendation generation for performance improvement by using cross-organizational process mining
Kahveci, Mehmet Kubilay; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2015)
Post marketing surveillance for pharmaceutical drugs has been largely dependent on spontaneous reporting systems (SRSs) for quite some time. Although paper based reporting forms are broadly replaced by digital (online) counterparts, accessibility and usability of those systems still pose problems. Considering the fact that adverse drug event (ADE) reporting is mostly a voluntary action and it takes a lot of effort to complete an ADE report on current systems, outputs are usually in low quality and quantity....
DEEPScreen: high performance drug-target interaction prediction with convolutional neural networks using 2-D structural compound representations
Rifaioğlu, Ahmet Süreyya; Nalbat, Esra; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan (2020-03-07)
The identification of physical interactions between drug candidate compounds and target biomolecules is an important process in drug discovery. Since conventional screening procedures are expensive and time consuming, computational approaches are employed to provide aid by automatically predicting novel drug-target interactions (DTIs). In this study, we propose a large-scale DTI prediction system, DEEPScreen, for early stage drug discovery, using deep convolutional neural networks. One of the main advantage...
Inference of Gene Regulatory Networks Via Multiple Data Sources and a Recommendation Method
Ozsoy, Makbule Gulcin; Polat, Faruk; Alhajj, Reda (2015-11-12)
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are composed of biological components, including genes, proteins and metabolites, and their interactions. In general, computational methods are used to infer the connections among these components. However, computational methods should take into account the general features of the GRNs, which are sparseness, scale-free topology, modularity and structure of the inferred networks. In this work, observing the common aspects between recommendation systems and GRNs, we decided to ...
Predicting the binding affinities of drug-protein interaction by analyzing the images of binding sites
Erdaş, Özlem; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Büyükbingöl, Erdem; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
Analysis of protein-ligand interactions plays an important role in designing safe and efficient drugs, contributing to drug discovery and development. Recently, machine learning methods have been found useful in drug design, which utilize intelligent techniques to predict unknown protein-ligand interactions by learning from specific properties of known protein-ligand interactions. The aim of this thesis is to propose a novel computational model, Compressed Images for Affinity Prediction (CIFAP), to predict ...

ÜNSOY, GÖZDE; Gündüz, Ufuk (2018-01-01)
Background: Smart nanocarriers have been designed for tissue-specific targeted drug delivery, sustained or triggered drug release and co-delivery of synergistic drug combinations to develop safer and more efficient therapeutics.
