Therefore, drug repositioning has become an effective approach to address the issues by identifying new therapeutic or pharmacological actions for existing drugs. The drug\u2019s anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) code is a hierarchical classification system categorized as five levels according to the organs or systems that drugs act and the pharmacology, therapeutic and chemical properties of drugs. The 2nd-, 3rd- and 4th-level ATC codes reserved the therapeutic and pharmacological information of drugs. With the hypothesis that drugs with similar structures or targets would possess similar ATC codes, we exploited a network-based approach to predict the 2nd-, 3rd- and 4th-level ATC codes by constructing substructure drug-ATC (SD-ATC), target drug-ATC (TD-ATC) and Substructure&amp;Target drug-ATC (STD-ATC) networks. After 10-fold cross validation and two external validations, the STD-ATC models outperformed the SD-ATC and TD-ATC ones. Furthermore, with KR as fingerprint, the STD-ATC model was identified as the optimal model with AUC values at 0.899\u2009\u00b1\u20090.015, 0.916 and 0.893 for 10-fold cross validation, external validation set 1 and external validation set 2, respectively. To illustrate the predictive capability of the STD-ATC model with KR fingerprint, as a case study, we predicted 25 FDA-approved drugs (22 drugs were actually purchased) to have potential activities on heart failure using that model. Experiments in vitro confirmed that 8 of the 22 old drugs have shown mild to potent cardioprotective activities on both hypoxia model and oxygen\u2013glucose deprivation model, which demonstrated that our STD-ATC prediction model would be an effective tool for drug repositioning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bib\/bbaa027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,17]],"date-time":"2020-02-17T12:11:47Z","timestamp":1581941507000},"page":"2058-2072","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Drug
