Abstract:
Polypharmacology aids in the identification of multiple protein targets involved in disease pathology and selecting appropriate therapeutic compounds interacting with protein targets. Here, we present a protocol to identify the targets involved in obesity-linked diabetes and suitable phytocompounds to bind with the identified target. We describe steps to install and use softwares for identifying several protein targets by linking multiple diseases. This protocol allows the use of therapeutic compounds of both phytochemical and synthetic origins. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Martiz et al.,1 and Maradesha et al.2.

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
