  • Abstract:
  • Traditional approach of drug discovery process is highly expensive and time -consuming. That’s why, Drug repurposing strategy was developed as an alternate approach to accelerate the process of drug discovery. Drug repurposing is the process of finding new therapeutic uses for existing drugs and is very efficient, less expensive, time saving and low risk of failure. It utilizes the mutual effect of experimental and computational approaches to find new drug targets. In this article, different drug repurposing approaches have been discussed. In which, Computational approaches have been known to greatly improve the performance of drug repurposing. This article also provides an overview of progress and efficiency in the field of drug repurposing by network based strategy.
