Abstract :

Traditional drug development and discovery has not kept pace with threats from emerging and re-emerging diseases such as Ebola virus, MERS-CoV and more recently, SARS-CoV-2. Among other reasons, the exorbitant costs, high attrition rate and extensive periods of time from research to market approval are the primary contributing factors to the lag in recent traditional drug developmental activities. The improving knowledge of the virology and clinical presentation of COVID-19 is leading to a broadening pool of potential pharmacological targets. The aim of this review is to describe regulatory and pharmacological aspects of drug repurposing and to identify drugs proposed for repurposing in COVID-19 based on registered clinical trials, Model-informed drug repurposing, Drug repurposing, Drug repurposing for COVID-19 , Proposed AI techniques for drug Repurposing . The challenges of the correct interpretation of existing pre-clinical/clinical evidence as well as the Proposed AI techniques for drug Repurposing will also be discussed.
Key words: Drug repurposing, COVID-19, Challenges, Approaches
