DeCure for Acute cor pulmonale

DeCure's autonomous Rare AI scientist is researching a drug-repurposing hypothesis for acute cor pulmonale — screening already-approved drugs against its 2-gene Open Targets disease module to publish open-access research. Research is fast; the path to publication is funded in milestone stages.

The disease map

Disease moduleAcute cor pulmonale maps to a 2-gene Open Targets module — the target space DeCure's AI scientist screens approved drugs against.
DeCure.ai methodSignature reversal (LINCS) plus network proximity (STRING) rank already-approved drugs likely to perturb this module — the same engine that produces DeCure.ai's repurposing hypotheses.
Repurposing thesisScreening approved medicines against this disease module, then publishing the evidence for the strongest candidate. Known pharmacology and human exposure data make the first question sharper — they do not establish safety or efficacy in a new indication.

Current lead

No approved-drug candidate for acute cor pulmonale is corroborated in the literature DeepSearch retrieved. Some conditions are managed with non-pharmacological care — a device, surgery or physical therapy — rather than a medicine; that may be the case here, or the literature we found may simply be too sparse yet to support a drug-repurposing angle.

Molecular view

protein C, inactivator of coagulation factors Va and VIIIa (PROC)PROC is one of the genes genetically linked to this disease in Open Targets — shown as context, not as a drug target we're pursuing: no approved-drug candidate for this disease is yet corroborated in the literature we found.

Cor Pulmonale

AbstractCor pulmonale is a specific cardiovascular disorder secondary to chronic pulmonary disease in which there is hypoxemia, chronic carbon dioxide retention, polycythemia and right ventricular hypertrophy and failure. Aids to diagnosis are x-rays of the thorax, electrocardiograms, pulmonary function tests, and Astrup determinations. Data are presented on 52 patients with cor pulmonale.

ADVANTAGES OF MODERN CLINICAL DIAGNOSTIC METHODS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

AbstractCor pulmonale results from pathology of the lungs or their vessels; it does not include left ventricular (LV) failure, congenital heart defects (eg, ventricular septal defect), or secondary right ventricular (RV) dilatation due to acquired valvular pathology. Cor pulmonale is usually a chronic condition, but it can be acute and reversible. Primary pulmonary hypertension (i.e., not caused by lung or heart disease) is discussed elsewhere.
