This document discusses how drug analytics based on manually extracted semantic relationships in Embase can be useful for drug development, repurposing, and safety. It describes how relationships between drugs, diseases, and adverse reactions that are manually indexed can provide valuable information for drug repurposing, development, and safety. Specific examples are provided to show how the semantic relationships can guide drug repositioning strategies, investigate new combination drugs, identify drug-drug interactions, collect drug comparison data, and help improve risk management.

Agenda
Data analytics based on manually extracted semantic relationships
between:
– Drug – Disease
• Adverse Reaction
• Therapy
– Drug – Drug
• Interactions
• Combination
• Comparison
very valuable for:
• Drug repurposing
• Drug development
• Drug safety

Indexing for Embase is a manual process
performed by trained indexers with a biomedical
background, with the exception of articles designated
for automatic indexing.
Indexers read and analyze the full text of articles in
order to identify relevant concepts, and index them with
the most specific Emtree terms.
Index terms are controlled by the Emtree thesaurus
resulting in consistent coverage of concepts that
may be expressed in many different ways in the
literature.
Indexing principles
5. 5
Indexing: subheadings
Subheadings are Emtree terms that are also used as concept
qualifiers for drugs, diseases and devices to refine their meaning,
providing a very precise idea of what an article covers.

Drug subheadings

Indexing: key subheadings
Concept Key Subheading
drug adverse drug reaction
drug drug combination
drug drug comparison
drug drug interaction
drug drug therapy
device adverse device effect
device device comparison
disease drug therapy
disease side effect
Nine subheadings are denoted key subheadings.

Indexing: triple-linking
Triple-indexing is a three level indexing of the full text of an article,
and it consists of:
‒ Concept (drug or device or disease)
‒ Key subheading (relationship)
‒ Linked concept (e.g. stomatitis, hypertension, nausea, etc.)
Triple indexing has started in Q1 of 2007 for the drug triples (drug
therapy from Q2 of 2009). Devices began in Q2 of 2014.

identified and filtered
(simple search a drug and
use drug filter)
Search query language

Drug repositioning to treat (rare) diseases
Compounds targeted for repositioning have already gone through extensive
preclinical testing and have shown safety in their original indication.
The key benefits are:
Shorter development time
Lower development costs - safety profiles of the products will have
already been established
Higher success rates

Everolimus (Afinitor®)

mTOR Signalling in cancer:
• Positively regulates cell growth
and proliferation
• Positively regulates cellular
metabolism & adenosine
triphosphate (ATP) production
• Promotes angiogenesis
• Promotes cell growth by
negatively regulating
degradative processes in cells
Mechanism of Action: mTOR inhibitor (inhibits the mammalian target of
rapamycin)
mTOR inhibitors can be used to block the multiple biologic effects caused by
the aberrant activation of mTOR found in several cancer types.

Everolimus is approved for various conditions
• Advanced kidney cancer (US FDA approved in March 2009)
• Prevention of organ rejection after renal transplant (April 2010)
• Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) associated with tuberous
sclerosis (TS) (October 2010)
• Progressive or metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors not surgically
removable (May 2011)
• Breast cancer in post-menopausal women with advanced hormone-receptor
positive, in conjunction with exemestane (July 2012)
• Prevention of organ rejection after liver transplant (Feb 2013
• Progressive, well-differentiated non-functional, neuroendocrine tumors
(NET) of gastrointestinal (GI) or lung origin (February 2016).
