# Drug Repurposing Screen

> Drug Repurposing Screening - Screen existing drugs for new indications by querying FDA indications, ChEMBL mechanisms, and OpenTargets drug-disease associations. Use this skill for drug discovery tasks involving get indications by drug name get mechanism of action by drug name get drug by name get associated drugs by target name. Combines 4 tools from 3 SCP server(s).

# Drug Repurposing Screening

**Discipline**: Drug Discovery | **Tools Used**: 4 | **Servers**: 3

## Description

Screen existing drugs for new indications by querying FDA indications, ChEMBL mechanisms, and OpenTargets drug-disease associations.

## Tools Used

- **`get_indications_by_drug_name`** from `fda-drug-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/14/Origene-FDADrug`
- **`get_mechanism_of_action_by_drug_name`** from `fda-drug-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/14/Origene-FDADrug`
- **`get_drug_by_name`** from `chembl-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/4/Origene-ChEMBL`
- **`get_associated_drugs_by_target_name`** from `opentargets-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/15/Origene-OpenTargets`

## Workflow

1. Get current indications from FDA
2. Get mechanism of action
3. Get ChEMBL drug data
4. Search OpenTargets for new target associations

## Test Case

### Input
```json
{
    "drug_name": "metformin"
}
```

### Expected Steps
1. Get current indications from FDA
2. Get mechanism of action
3. Get ChEMBL drug data
4. Search OpenTargets for new target associations

## Usage Example

> **Note:** Replace `sk-b04409a1-b32b-4511-9aeb-22980abdc05c` with your own SCP Hub API Key. You can obtain one from the [SCP Platform](https://scphub.intern-ai.org.cn).
