The study collects and proposes molecular hypotheses for 1,162 side effects. This information, which is about to be tested experimentally, is now available to the scientific community through the most recent issue of the specialized journal Chemistry and Biology, part of the Cell group. <\/p>\n<p> The researchers Miquel Duran and Patrick Aloy collated all the drugs that cause each known SE. Next, they studied the proteins with which they interact and their chemical structure. &#8220;For most of the side effects we have a biological hypothesis, and for many of these cases we also have chemical information about the drug, which may be useful to predict a specific secondary effect,&#8221; explains ICREA researcher Patrick Aloy, head of the &#8220;Structural Bioinformatics and Network Biology&#8221; at IRB Barcelona.  <\/p>\n<p>Of the 1,162 SEs for which they have found a molecular description, 446 can be explained solely on the basis of biology and 68 only on the basis of chemistry, while for 648 (56%) both biological and chemical considerations are required. <\/p>\n<p><p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.irbbarcelona.org\/index.php\/en\/news\/irb-news\/scientific\/an-irb-barcelona-study-contributes-to-the-understanding-and-prevention-of-the-side-effects-caused-by-drugs\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"email\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">For further information [+]<\/a>   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yellow vision, pseudo-pulmonary obstruction, involuntary body movements, respiratory paralysis.
