- Molecular Dynamics-Guided Triage of Approved Drugs Against Escherichia coli Resistance Targets Nominates Capmatinib, Metergoline and Nilotinib as Candidates for Experimental Testing (2026) · International Journal of Molecular Sciences · doi
The paper identifies a gap in the current approach to repurposing approved drugs, which relies on docking scores and pose stability. The study shows that these methods fail to identify compounds known to work. The paper highlights the need for a more informative approach, such as benchmarking each hit against a known inhibitor.
