A review on drug repurposing applicable to obesity.
Obesity is a major public health concern and burden on individuals and healthcare systems. Due to the challenges and limitations of lifestyle adjustments, it is advisable to consider pharmacological treatment for people affected by obesity. However, the side effects and limited efficacy of available drugs make the obesity drug market far from sufficient. Drug repurposing involves identifying new applications for existing drugs and offers some advantages over traditional drug development approaches including lower costs and shorter development timelines. This review aims to provide an overview of drug repurposing for anti-obesity medications, including the rationale for repurposing, the challenges and approaches, and the potential drugs that are being investigated for repurposing. Through advanced computational techniques, researchers can unlock the potential of repurposed drugs to tackle the global obesity epidemic. Further research, clinical trials, and collaborative efforts are essential to fully explore and leverage the potential of drug repurposing in the fight against obesity.
期刊介绍：
Obesity Reviews is a monthly journal publishing reviews on all disciplines related to obesity and its comorbidities. This includes basic and behavioral sciences, clinical treatment and outcomes, epidemiology, prevention and public health. The journal should, therefore, appeal to all professionals with an interest in obesity and its comorbidities.
Review types may include systematic narrative reviews, quantitative meta-analyses and narrative reviews but all must offer new insights, critical or novel perspectives that will enhance the state of knowledge in the field.
The editorial policy is to publish high quality peer-reviewed manuscripts that provide needed new insight into all aspects of obesity and its related comorbidities while minimizing the period between submission and publication.
