2. Drug Research: Common Challenges
 EXPENSIVE! - Drug research is expensive. A new drug takes
around 15 years and $1.2b from concept to market.
 LOW SUCCESS RATE! - The success ratio is extremely low
with most candidate molecules being abandoned midway. Two
out of three submissions with regulatory authorities result in
failures.
 LOW GROWTH RATE! - The typical growth rate has reduced
from 13% to 5%. Limited resources.
 DUPLICATION OF EFFORT! - Companies often end up
duplicating research effort as they fail to determine if similar
research is taking place somewhere else.
 OMICS EMIT UNMANAGEABLE DATA! - Newer technologies
have come in, that deal at gene and cell level. Resulting data is
Voluminous, in Various formats and gets piled up at a blistering
pace. Drug research faces challenges in leveraging these
technologies in a timely, effective , efficient and optimum
manner.

9. DATA MINING CASE STUDIES
@ Roche:
Used DM techniques to set up models for the diagnostic of diabetes high risk group
to analyze existing samples sets (including Diabetes II patients and healthy subjects),
to identify the factors (age, sex, race, height, weight, BMI value, ADA value) that may
cause Diabetes II, and predict the probability of the subjects developing Diabetes II in
the next 7 and half years, in order to take preventive measures a traditional statistical
methods are not as accurate as DM methods.
@ GSK:
Data Mining Human Gut Microbiota for therapeutic targets. This could lead to a
systems-level understanding of the global physiology of the host–microbiota
superorganism in health and disease. Such knowledge will provide a platform for the
identification and development of new therapeutic strategies for chronic diseases
possibly involving microbial as well as human-host targets that improve upon existing
probiotics, prebiotics or antibiotics
used text analytics to analyze public discussion boards on BabyCenter.com and
WhattoExpect.com, to learn what factors motivate parents to either go ahead or delay
vaccinating their children for diseases like measles and mumps.
Data mining was used to identify unrecognized drug interaction (pravastatin and
paroxetine) that suggested raising blood glucose level manifold. However this would
need a careful crystallization of the problem statement by experts to make the
exercise useful.

10. DATA MINING CASE STUDIES
@ Bayer:
GI adverse effect of short term Aspirin use. Meta analysis of AE comparison with
similar drugs for mktg. & drug improvement.
@ Pfizer:
Uses mining to determine if certain AE’s are being reported with greater frequency
than expected.
large-scale semantic Web-based data mining and network methods to seek to
uncover previously undiscovered historical links between chemical compounds,
drugs, biological pathways, targets, genes and diseases.
By using big data to bring together genomic data, clinical trials and EMR data,
Pfizer was able to develop precise drug ‘Xalkori’ which proves very effective for
around 5% of patients suffering from cancer who suffer mutation of their ALK gene.
Through data mining, this sub section of population was identified which had a
healthy lifestyle, yet got affected by cancer.
It funded a study that would use genomic data mining to identify antigens in NTS
(non-typhoidal salmonella) that may be used as targets for vaccine development.
@ Johnson & Johnson:
Has built an open source data management system called Transmart. The idea is
to combine genomic data sets, from internal and external sources, using the
platform's data standards and processing capabilities. This facilitates data mining
which provides immense opportunities.

11. DATA MINING CASE STUDIES
@ Novartis:
In HTS, used Ontology Based Pattern Identification (OPI) algorithm to predict
patters by which they were able to find out 1500 scaffold families with significant
structure-HTS activity profile relationships.
@ Astra Zeneca
It uses data-mining tools to identify plausible preclinical Gastro Intestinal effects
that may be associated with nausea and that could be of potential use in its
prediction. A total of 86 marketed drugs were used in this analysis, and the main
outcome was a confirmation that nausogenic and non-nausogenic drugs can be
clearly separated based on their preclinical GI observations. .

12. CHEMOGENOMICS DATA MINING
Chemogenomics is rapidly emerging as a way of helping discover new disease therapies and
uncovering new uses for existing drugs.
There are large structure activity databases set up by pharmaceutical companies and
commercial vendors. These databases can be mined to derive insights into common properties or
structural features among ligands linked to common features of the receptors to which they bind.
These insights can then used for the rational compilation of screening sets or the knowledge-based
synthesis of chemical libraries to accelerate lead finding.
Can be used to reposition drugs and find new applications for existing
drugs/molecules/compounds.
Four Canadian government research funding agencies will spend around US$6.7 million to
create a cloud computing facility and data mining tools that will enable researchers to access and
use data from the International Cancer Genome Consortium.
DM could lead to a systems-level understanding of the global physiology of the host–microbiota
superorganism in health and disease. Such knowledge will provide a platform for the identification
and development of new therapeutic strategies for chronic diseases possibly involving microbial as
well as human-host targets that improve upon existing probiotics, prebiotics or antibiotics
We can collect or organize known GPCR and non GPCR ligands and mining models can be
trained based on such properties. New compounds can automatically be classified as ligand or non
ligand based compound.
Design and knowledge based synthesis of chemical libraries targeting subfamily of purinergic
GPCR . Chemical scoffolds can be synthesized.

18. DATABASE SOLUTIONS
Drug discovery analytics is traditionally performed on
Relational Database Management Systems. However
with new discoveries, it does not remain an optimal
choice. Discoveries require newer technologies.
Commercial RDBMS have kept pace by introducing
newer features (such as column store indexes)
We design the RDBMS to consolidate data from
disparate sources to facilitate analytics. We also convert
existing DBMS systems to leverage newly introduced
features.
We also undertake performance enhancements,
provide additional security and other maintenance
tasks.

19. BIG DATA SOLUTIONS
Definition – A collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult
to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing
applications. The challenges include capture, curation, storage, search, sharing,
transfer, analysis and visualization. The trend to larger data sets is due to the
additional information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data, as
compared to separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data, allowing
correlations to be found to "spot business trends, determine quality of research,
prevent diseases, link legal citations, combat crime, and determine real-time roadway
traffic conditions.
Philosophy – To handle such huge data generated by Omics, regular computers
are used that are networked/set up in such a way to make it loss proof and leverage
individuals processors to work in synergy and solve bigger problems Companies have
started offering cloud storage for big data and publicly available.
Areas Covered:
 Finding cause of diseases
 Repositioning of drugs
 Prescription of more effective drugs and procedures.
Deliverable - We collect information about possible sources of data for related
research area. We analyze the data for volume variety and velocity. We do a small
pilot prototype of the big data set up using source big data on cloud. We set up
programs to collect and process the data and then try to solve the hypothesis

Lucknow
Use Case 1: Researchers found that previously undetected mutations in a single
gene (called LMX1B) triggered focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a
disease that scars the kidneys’ filtering system. This was possible after genome data
was collected and compared for healthy and diseased individuals.
Use Case 2: Big data approach already has predicted the efficacy of drug
repurposing for treating colitis — a form of inflammatory bowel disease — small-cell
lung cancer and other conditions, according to Scott Saywell, vice president,
corporate development, NuMedii.
Use Case 3: For patients, the use of big data analytics in drug development results
in less trial and error when physicians prescribe drugs. This tighter targeting of
drugs to disease also results in fewer side effects.
According to new draft policy by Dept. of Biotechnology, Govt. of India, genome
based prescription and treatment will be top priority in next few years.
The draft policy envisages converting half of hospitals currently engaged in
treatment of human diseases to that of prediction and prevention of diseases using
genomic tools.
It also aims to provide all available genetic screening tests to general public at
affordable prices.
Genome data processing and analysis has been possible by Big Data as genome
(and other omics technologies) for just one individual results in data that tops 80
story building when translated on a paper.
