Drug Repositioning #57

Closed allysonlister closed 3 years ago

allysonlister commented 4 years ago

'Drug Repositioning' is being promoted from a user-defined term (UDT) to a SRAO class, as a sibling class of 'Drug Development'.

Definition

Drug repositioning is the deliberate and methodical practice of finding new applications for existing drugs. [Adapted from MeSH https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D058492, AL 20.5.2020]

Hierarchy

Although the MESH hierarchy lists this class as a child term of 'Drug Development', which we have as a subject in SRAO, it was agreed with @Drosophilic and @delphinedauga that we should create it as a sibling class of 'Drug Development' as this more closely matches the defintions. dd

Please would both @Drosophilic and @delphinedauga let me know if they're OK with this? Thanks!
