Abstract

Abstract : Drug repositioning has been based largely on genomic signatures of drugs and diseases. One challenge in these efforts lies in connecting the molecular signatures of drugs into clinical responses, including therapeutic and side effects, to the repurpose of drugs. We addressed this challenge by evaluating drug‐drug relationships using a phenotypic and molecular‐based approach that integrates therapeutic indications, side effects, and gene expression profiles induced by each drug. Using cosine similarity, relationships between 445 drugs were evaluated based on high‐dimensional spaces consisting of phenotypic terms of drugs and genomic signatures, respectively. One hundred fifty‐one of 445 drugs comprising 450 drug pairs displayed significant similarities in both phenotypic and genomic signatures ( P value < 0.05). We also found that similar gene expressions of drugs do indeed yield similar clinical phenotypes. We generated similarity matrixes of drugs using the expression profiles they induce in a cell line and phenotypic effects.
