Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Amphetamine-type stimulants are the second-most used illicit drugs globally, yet there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatments for amphetamine-type stimulant use disorders (ATSUD). The aim of this study was to utilize a drug discovery framework that integrates artificial intelligence (AI)-based drug prediction, clinical corroboration and mechanism of action analysis to identify FDA-approved drugs that can be repurposed for treating ATSUD.
