*2.3.4 Target mechanism-based drug repurposing*

Predicting the novel mechanism of action by this approach and resulting in drug repurposing for existing drugs. This is possible by gathering information from signaling pathway information, interaction networks of various proteins and also by data obtained from omics. Additionally, this will contribute to precision medicine. As, increasingly the individuals with their respective diseases have different pathophysiology among them. Precision medicine is upcoming solution for all these unique disease specific pathophysiological individuals. Advantages for drug repurposing by these approaches can discover not only different pathophysiological mechanisms but also providing treatment to them with respective drugs [19].
