Better understanding the phenotypic effects of drugs through shared targets in genetic disease networks

IntroductionMost drugs fail during development and there is a clear and unmet need for approaches to better understand mechanistically how drugs exert both their intended and adverse effects. Gaining traction in this field is the use of disease data linking genes with pathological phenotypes and com...

description IntroductionMost drugs fail during development and there is a clear and unmet need for approaches to better understand mechanistically how drugs exert both their intended and adverse effects. Gaining traction in this field is the use of disease data linking genes with pathological phenotypes and combining this with drugtarget interaction data.MethodsWe introduce methodology to associate drugs with effects, both intended and adverse, using a tripartite network approach that combines drug-target and target-phenotype data, in which targets can be represented as proteins and protein domains.ResultsWe were able to detect associations for over 140,000 ChEMBL drugs and 3,800 phenotypes, represented as Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms. The overlap of these results with the SIDER databases of known drug side effects was up to 10 times higher than random, depending on the target type, disease database and score threshold used. In terms of overlap with drug-phenotype pairs extracted from the literature, the performance of our methodology was up to 17.47 times greater than random. The top results include phenotype-drug associations that represent intended effects, particularly for cancers such as chronic myelogenous leukemia, which was linked with nilotinib. They also include adverse side effects, such as blurred vision being linked with tetracaine.DiscussionThis work represents an important advance in our understanding of how drugs cause intended and adverse side effects through their action on disease causing genes and has potential applications for drug development and repositioning.
