Phytochemical Repurposing of Natural Molecule: Sabinene for Identification of Novel Therapeutic Benefits Using and Approaches.

Repurposing of drugs/natural or synthetic chemicals is a promising approach to identify the new therapeutic indication/use and mode of action. In pharmaceuticals, this process is used to save the time and cost for the drug discovery process with reduced risk of failure. In the present studies, repurposing of a natural molecule: sabinene (major phytochemical in cardamom) was used to characterize the new biological activities using in silico in vitro In silico similarity searching demonstrated that (+)-3-carene possessed the maximum structural similarity with sabinene.
