Drug repositioning for pan-cancers of the digestive system: Identification of amonafide and BX795 as potential therapeutics via integrative Omics analysis

Our study demonstrates the utility of drug repositioning for identifying potential therapeutics for digestive system cancers. Amonafide and BX795 emerged as promising candidates in targeting both CRC and LIHC. Further in vivo studies and clinical trials are warranted to validate these findings.

Abstract

Our study demonstrates the utility of drug repositioning for identifying potential therapeutics for digestive system cancers. Amonafide and BX795 emerged as promising candidates in targeting both CRC and LIHC. Further in vivo studies and clinical trials are warranted to validate these findings.
