Drug Repurposing Hub

The Drug Repurposing Hub is a comprehensive resource that collects information about existing medicines, including those already approved for other uses or tested in clinical trials. Its goal is to identify new therapeutic applications for these drugs, which can accelerate the development of treatments for different diseases. By analyzing these drugs and their known properties, scientists can discover new ways to fight diseases more efficiently, often reducing time and costs compared to developing new drugs from scratch. Essentially, it serves as a strategic database to explore and facilitate the reuse of existing medicines for new health conditions.
