Open-access database could speed up repurposing of old drugs as new treatments
Researchers have created a new open-access database of information on drug candidates and how they are metabolized by the body, which could help speed up the repurposing of old drugs as new treatments.
There is an urgent need for more effective treatments for many conditions, including COVID-19, cancer and malaria.
