Repurposing investigation
Loracarbef is already an antimicrobial, so it is not counted among the repurposing candidates. Its AI-predicted activity is shown below for reference.

“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 Loracarbef 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.
