About this Item

Neuware -Drug repurposing and repositioning is a process of identifying new therapeutic use (s) for the available and existing older drugs. Therapeutically, this has become a popular and effective strategy in recent years, in discovering or developing drug molecules with new pharmacological action and therapeutic indications. The drug repurposing strategy is efficient, economical and less time consuming and is thought to be an effective alternative approach to traditional drug discovery process. With the discovery of novel biological targets, the drug repositioning would maximize the success rate of therapy.
