This manuscript outlines our project involving the application of AGATHA, an AI-based literature mining tool, to discover drugs with the potential for repurposing in the context of neurocognitive disorders. The primary objective is to identify connections between approved medications and specific health conditions through advanced statistical analysis, including techniques like Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLSDA) and unsupervised clustering. The methodology involves grouping scientific terms related to different health conditions and genes, followed by building discrimination models to extract lists of disease-specific genes. These genes are then analyzed through pathway analysis to select candidates for drug repurposing.
