Listings of approved drugs obtained from DrugBank⁵¹. Drug targets have been filtered for predicted essentiality in C. elegans, a ChEMBL Ensembl score of ≥0.5, transcript expression of >100 edgeR-normalized RNA-seq reads per kilobase of gene length in adult parasites and inferred availability of an approved and possibly suitable drug (excluding, for example, hydroxocobalamin (vitamin B₁₂); Supplementary Tables 13 and 14). Drug purposes are indicated by footnote. Asterisks indicate other drugs (with similar activities to those listed), which are not shown.
