June 2026 in “Open Access Research Journal of Biology and Pharmacy” This study investigates potential multi-target drugs against Onchocerca volvulus, a major cause of blindness in developing regions. Using molecular docking simulations, 2,015 approved drugs were screened against glutamate S-transferase and prolyl tRNA synthetase. Bedaquiline and Telmisartan showed the strongest binding affinities, while Diosmin, Azelastine, and Adapalene were identified as promising multi-target drugs based on molecular dynamics. Other compounds like Drospirenone, Alectinib, Dutasteride, and Finasteride also showed potential. The study suggests repurposing these drugs could offer effective treatments for onchocerciasis, with further validation needed.
