Drug repurposing has emerged as a effective and efficient strategy to identify new treatments for a variety of diseases. One of the most effective approaches for discovering potential new drug candidates involves the utilization of Knowledge Graphs (KGs). This review comprehensively explores some of the most prominent KGs, detailing their structure, data sources, and how they facilitate the repurposing of drugs. In addition to KGs, this paper delves into various artificial intelligence techniques that enhance the process of drug repurposing. These methods not only accelerate the identification of viable drug candidates but also improve the precision of predictions by leveraging complex datasets and advanced algorithms. Furthermore, the importance of explainability in drug repurposing is emphasized. Explainability methods are crucial as they provide insights into the reasoning behind AI-generated predictions, thereby increasing the trustworthiness and transparency of the repurposing process. We will discuss several techniques that can be employed to validate these predictions, ensuring that they are both reliable and understandable.
