Systematic identification of protein-drug interaction networks is crucial to correlate complex modes of drug action to clinical indications. We introduce a novel computational strategy to identify protein-ligand binding profiles on a genome-wide scale and apply it to elucidating the molecular mechanisms associated with the adverse drug effects of Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) inhibitors. CETP inhibitors are a new class of preventive therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. However, clinical studies indicated that one CETP inhibitor, Torcetrapib, has deadly off-target effects as a result of hypertension, and hence it has been withdrawn from phase III clinical trials. We have identified a panel of off-targets for Torcetrapib and other CETP inhibitors from the human structural genome and map those targets to biological pathways via the literature. The predicted protein-ligand network is consistent with experimental results from multiple sources and reveals that the side-effect of CETP inhibitors is modulated through the combinatorial control of multiple interconnected pathways. Given that combinatorial control is a common phenomenon observed in many biological processes, our findings suggest that adverse drug effects might be minimized by fine-tuning multiple off-target interactions using single or multiple therapies. This work extends the scope of chemogenomics approaches and exemplifies the role that systems biology has in the future of drug discovery. Both the cost to launch a new drug and the attrition rate during the late stage of the drug discovery and development process are increasing. Torcetrapib is a case in point, having been withdrawn from phase III clinical trials after 15 years of development and an estimated cost of US $800 M. Torcetrapib represents a new class of therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular disease; however, clinical studies indicated that Torcetrapib has deadly side-effects as a result of hypertension. To understand the origins of these adverse drug reactions from Torcetrapib and other related drugs undergoing clinical trials, we introduce a systematic strategy to identify off-targets in the human structural proteome and investigate the roles of these off-targets in impacting human physiology and pathology using biochemical pathway analysis. Our findings suggest that potential side-effects of a new drug can be identified at an early stage of the development cycle and be minimized by fine-tuning multiple off-target interactions. The hope is that this can reduce both the cost of drug development and the mortality rates during clinical trials.
