Washington: Instead of using a new treatment or drug, has recently been discovered that drugs are available and can be reused alone or in combination with other drugs to treat people during the outbreak of bacterial, viral and related infections.
According to the researchers, drugs currently available for various conditions can be reused alone or in combination with other drugs to treat infectious diseases. The findings suggest that such a strategy should be pursued because the development of new therapies and vaccines usually takes a lot of time with immense resources.
In addition, the rate of development of novel therapies for drug resistant pathogens has not been maintained with the evolution of drug resistance by these pathogens. The reuse of drugs is the application of drugs and compounds known to treat new indications.
The study’s lead author, Dr. Wei Zheng, said. “Historically, resupply of drugs for outbreaks of bacterial, viral infections and related has been an underused vehicle for the discovery of new interventions due to limited marketing potential Entities The process of discovering such unmet needs is crucial, ”
“To combat the global challenges caused by drug-resistant pathogens, a new model of translational research is needed, including government, academic researchers and the private pharmaceutical industry,” Zheng added. The research appears in the British Journal of Pharmacology.
