Repurposing investigation
This medicine is being investigated here for AI-predicted antimicrobial activity against M. tuberculosis. It was surfaced computationally for further investigation; it is not an established treatment for this infection.
AI-predicted activity
AI prediction · nothing measured- MRSA26.2% AI-predicted activityBelow the ≥40% mark this site uses to surface candidates. This medicine was in the model's training data, so this is recall, not a new prediction.
- E. coli23.5% AI-predicted activityBelow the ≥40% mark this site uses to surface candidates.
- K. pneumoniae17.7% AI-predicted activityBelow the ≥40% mark this site uses to surface candidates.
- M. tuberculosis50.9% AI-predicted activityAt or above the ≥40% mark this site uses to surface candidates.
A model’s estimate of laboratory activity against each pathogen species. It is not clinical effectiveness.

“Active” means the measured value reached this project’s laboratory cutoff (10 µM or stronger). A laboratory result does not show an effect in patients.
Docking
Computational · nothing measuredAutoDock Vina, one experimentally solved protein per pathogen. This project’s screening target is -7.0 kcal/mol, its own mark rather than a universal cutoff. A docking score is a structural hypothesis, not proof of binding, and requires experimental validation.
Other medicines to investigate
AI prediction · nothing measuredOther repurposing candidates: approved medicines besides Ethacrynic Acid with AI-predicted activity ≥40% against the chosen pathogen, leaving out existing antimicrobials. They are computational candidates for further investigation, not alternatives and not recommendations.
Sorted by AI-predicted activity, high to low. The order is not a ranking of which medicine is better.
