Comparative Evaluation of the Treatment of COVID-19 with Multicriteria Decision-Making Techniques.

Journal of healthcare engineering
OBJECTIVES: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported in December 2019. Until now, many drugs and methods have been used in the treatment of the disease. However, no effective treatment option has been found and only case...

Prediction of adverse drug reactions using drug convolutional neural networks.

Journal of bioinformatics and computational biology
Prediction of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) has been an important aspect of Pharmacovigilance because of its impact in the pharma industry. The standard process of introduction of a new drug into a market involves a lot of clinical trials and tests. ...

Simultaneous spectrophotometric quantitative analysis of velpatasvir and sofosbuvir in recently approved FDA pharmaceutical preparation using artificial neural networks and genetic algorithm artificial neural networks.

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
Two chemometric assisted spectrophotometric models were applied for the quantitative analysis of velpatasvir and sofosbuvir in their newly FDA approved pharmaceutical dosage form. The UV absorption spectra of velpatasvir and sofosbuvir showed certain...

Fighting viruses with materials science: Prospects for antivirus surfaces, drug delivery systems and artificial intelligence.

Dental materials : official publication of the Academy of Dental Materials
OBJECTIVE: Viruses on environmental surfaces, in saliva and other body fluids represent risk of contamination for general population and healthcare professionals. The development of vaccines and medicines is costly and time consuming. Thus, the devel...

Repurposing potential of FDA-approved and investigational drugs for COVID-19 targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike and main protease and validation by machine learning algorithm.

Chemical biology & drug design
The present study aimed to assess the repurposing potential of existing antiviral drug candidates (FDA-approved and investigational) against SARS-CoV-2 target proteins that facilitates viral entry and replication into the host body. To evaluate molec...

Hepatitis C viral load and genotypes among Nigerian subjects with chronic infection and implication for patient management: a retrospective review of data.

The Pan African medical journal
INTRODUCTION: Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is highly infectious with no currently available vaccine. Prior to treatment, it is recommended to confirm HCV infection with either quantitative or qualitative nucleic acid test. Access to these assays in Nigeri...

Better understanding and prediction of antiviral peptides through primary and secondary structure feature importance.

Scientific reports
The emergence of viral epidemics throughout the world is of concern due to the scarcity of available effective antiviral therapeutics. The discovery of new antiviral therapies is imperative to address this challenge, and antiviral peptides (AVPs) rep...

Profiling SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease (M) Binding to Repurposed Drugs Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations in Classical and Neural Network-Trained Force Fields.

ACS combinatorial science
The current COVID-19 pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 urgently calls for a working therapeutic. Here, we report a computation-based workflow for efficiently selecting a subset of FDA-approved drugs that can potentially bind to the SA...

PharmGKB Tutorial for Pharmacogenomics of Drugs Potentially Used in the Context of COVID-19.

Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is a key area of precision medicine, which is already being implemented in some health systems and may help guide clinicians toward effective therapies for individual patients. Over the last 2 decades, the Pharmacogenomics Know...
