System and method for identifying potential targets for pharmaceutical compound

摘要

A system and method for identifying potential targets for a pharmaceutical compound. The system includes a database arrangement operable to store existing data sources and information related to the pharmaceutical compound; and a processing module communicably coupled to database arrangement. The processing module is operable to receive information related to the pharmaceutical compound, wherein the information includes at least one known target associated with the pharmaceutical compound; extract plurality of targets from existing data sources, wherein the existing data sources comprise plurality of data records and wherein each of the plurality of targets is associated with the pharmaceutical compound in at least one data record; analyse druggability of each of plurality of targets to determine a preliminary set of targets; determine net score for each of the targets in preliminary set of targets; and designate targets with a net score above a predefined threshold, as potential targets.
