# Drug Target Identification

> Drug Target Identification Pipeline - Identify drug targets for a disease by querying OpenTargets for associated targets, then retrieve detailed target info from ChEMBL and protein data from UniProt. Use this skill for drug discovery tasks involving get associated targets by disease efoId get target by name get general info by protein or gene name. Combines 3 tools from 3 SCP server(s).

# Drug Target Identification Pipeline

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

## Description

Identify drug targets for a disease by querying OpenTargets for associated targets, then retrieve detailed target info from ChEMBL and protein data from UniProt.

## Tools Used

- **`get_associated_targets_by_disease_efoId`** from `opentargets-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/15/Origene-OpenTargets`
- **`get_target_by_name`** from `chembl-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/4/Origene-ChEMBL`
- **`get_general_info_by_protein_or_gene_name`** from `uniprot-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/10/Origene-UniProt`

## Workflow

1. Query OpenTargets for lung cancer targets
2. Get EGFR target details from ChEMBL
3. Get EGFR protein info from UniProt

## Test Case

### Input
```json
{
    "disease_efo_id": "EFO_0000311",
    "disease_name": "lung cancer"
}
```

### Expected Steps
1. Query OpenTargets for lung cancer targets
2. Get EGFR target details from ChEMBL
3. Get EGFR protein info from UniProt

## 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).
