This document summarizes Philip Bourne's research using bioinformatics and systems biology approaches for early stage drug discovery. His approach involves characterizing known protein-ligand binding sites, searching for similar off-target binding sites across the proteome, and analyzing networks of potential drug-target interactions to understand drug polypharmacology and repurpose existing drugs. Examples are given of findings that explained drug side effects, identified possible drug repurposing opportunities, and informed multi-target drug strategies. The goal is to develop a high-throughput approach to rationally explore large networks of protein-ligand interactions.

36. Other Experimental Evidence to Show Nelfinavir inhibition on EGFR, IGF1R, CDK2 and Abl is Supportive The inhibitions of Nelfinavir on IGF1R, EGFR, Akt activity were detected by immunoblotting. The inhibition of Nelfinavir on Akt activity is less than a known PI3K inhibitor Joell J. Gills et al. Clinic Cancer Research September 2007 13; 5183 Nelfinavir inhibits growth of human melanoma cells by induction of cell cycle arrest Nelfinavir induces G1 arrest through inhibition of CDK2 activity. Such inhibition is not caused by inhibition of Akt signaling. Jiang W el al.
