Table 3. A manual selection of compounds with predicted drug target(s) based on similarity in expression profiles to another drug with known target.

Drug Predicted Target(s) Predicted targeting pathways
Ajmaline KCNMA1 HRH2 GPCRs in the regulation of smooth muscle tone; G-Protein Coupled Receptor Signaling; cAMP-mediated Signaling
Cicloheximide ATP1A1 Leptin signaling via PI3K-dependent pathway
Lobeline KCNMA1 GPCRs in the regulation of smooth muscle tone
Quercetin NR3C2 FKBP1A Glucocorticoid Receptor Signaling; IL-4 Signaling; Neutrophil and Its Surface Molecules; mTOR Signaling Pathway
Salbutamol DRD2 Regulation of cell cycle progression by Plk3; Dopamine Receptor Signaling; G-Protein Coupled Receptor Signaling; cAMP-mediated Signaling
Strophanthidin ATP1A1 Leptin signaling via PI3K-dependent pathway
Daunorubicin TOP2A Apoptotic DNA fragmentation and tissue homeostasis; Cell Cycle: G2/M DNA Damage Checkpoint Regulation

The last column is the list of pathways that the target of the known drug participates. Thus, the hypothesis is that the shown drug may act either through the predicted target or at least through the shown pathway.
