In silico prediction of drug targets in Vibrio cholerae

Abstract: Identification of potential drug targets is the first step in the process of modern drug discovery, subjected to their validation and drug development. Whole genome sequences of a number of organisms allow prediction of potential drug targets using sequence comparison approaches. Here, we present a subtractive approach exploiting the knowledge of global gene expression along with sequence comparisons to predict the potential drug targets more efficiently. Based on the knowledge of 155 known virulence and their… Show more

“…The number of potential targets for drug discovery process is increasing exponentially. Mining and warehousing of the human genome sequence using bioinformatics has helped to define and classify the nucleotide compositions of those genes, which are responsible for the coding of target proteins, in addition to identifying new targets that offer more potential for new drugs [5,6]. This is an area where the human genome information is expected to play a master role [7].…”

“…These challenges range from high cost of drug discovery to the lengthy and risky trials and approval process, and some time, withdrawal of previously approved drugs from the market and the innovation gap resulting from the dogged quest for blockbuster drugs [1,12,13]. Bioinformatics was widely projected to strengthen the identification of drug targets [6]. The fact that these problems remain mostly unsolved, despite significant bioinformatics investments, is an indication of a larger problem [26,27].…”

“…One of such approaches is the subtractive genomics that systematically identifies the drug targets by differential genomics [1]. The comparative genomic approach has also been applied to various organisms such as Helicobacter pylori) [2], Toxoplasma gondii [3], Vibrio cholera [4], Mycobacterium leprae [5], Borelia burdorferi [6] and many more studies are underway. Natural compounds of the drug targets of Ureaplasma urealyticum has been studied [7].…”
