DiscoveryProbe™ FDA-approved drug library includes 1971 FDA approved drugs for high throughput screening (HTS) and high content screening (HCS). It can be used to find new targets for old drugs. The bioactivity and safety of these drugs were confirmed by clinical trials. As they are all FDA-approved drugs, the drugs screened can be used for clinical testing directly.

Abstract
We interrogated a FDA-approved chemicals library for their ability to block infection of human HuH-7 cells by a newly isolated ZIKV strain (ZIKV MEX_I_7). In our in vitro screening assay, more than 20 out of 774 tested compounds reduced ZIKV infection. Then these compounds were further validated for inhibition of ZIKV infection in human neural, cervical and placental stem cell lines, as well as primary human amnion cells. We found that others that had no previously known antiviral activity (e.g., daptomycin) and anti-flaviviral drugs (e.g., bortezomib and mycophenolic acid) were identified as inhibitors of ZIKV infection. There were several drugs that reduced ZIKV infection across multiple cell types, which could be tested in clinical studies of ZIKV infection and provided small molecules to study ZIKV pathogenesis.
Abstract
Mitochondria are a major checkpoint in several pathways leading to neuronal cell death and the mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) may be critical in stroke-related injury. In order to prove this hypothesis, 1,040 FDA-approved drugs and other bioactive compounds were tested as potential mPT inhibitors. We found that 28 structurally related drugs, including tricyclic antipsychotics and antidepressants, capable of delaying the mPT. Clinically achievable doses of promethazine inhibited mPT and were protective in both in vitro and mouse models of stroke. Also, promethazine protected primary neuronal cultures subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reduced neurological impairment and infarct size in mice subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion. These results provided a class of safe, tolerable drugs for stroke and neurodegeneration and also provided new tools for understanding mitochondrial roles in neuronal cell death.
