Drug combination is a powerful and promising approach for complex disease therapy such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. However, the number of synergistic drug combinations approved by the Food and Drug Administration is very small. To bridge the gap between urgent need and low yield, researchers have constructed various models to identify synergistic drug combinations. Among these models, biomolecular network-based model is outstanding because of its ability to reflect and illustrate the relationships among drugs, disease-related genes, therapeutic targets, and disease-specific signaling pathways as a system. In this review, we analyzed and classified models for synergistic drug combination prediction in recent decade according to their respective algorithms. Besides, we collected useful resources including databases and analysis tools for synergistic drug combination prediction. It should provide a quick resource for computational biologists who work with network medicine or synergistic drug combination designing.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation in glioma results in a multitude of biological differences with consequences for survival and therapy response. Therefore, IDH mutated (IDHmut) and wildtype (IDHwt) tumors are regarded as separate entities with the need for adjusted therapy like the combination of procarbazine, CCNU and vincristine (PCV). However, as vincristine has often severe side effects like neuropathy new effective therapy options are required. Therefore, we searched for combinations of FDA-approved drugs which effectively inhibit the growth of IDHmut cells in vitro. METHODS We tested different drug combinations of a drug library consisting of 146 FDA-approved drugs on two established IDHmut GSC lines. Based on a previous single agent drug screen, six drugs were selected (Idarubicin, Ixazumib, Ponatinib, Neratinib, Romidepsin) to be combined with all 146 drugs of the library. Cell viability was assessed by the CellTiterGlo 3D assay (Promega) in 96 well plates, while Caspase-Glo 3/7 3D assay was used to measure induction of apoptosis. RESULTS Out of 1460 drug combinations tested altogether 21 synergistic drug combinations could be identified and validated. The combination with the highest blood-brain-barrier permeability score was further investigated. Finally, drug-concentrations elucidating the highest synergistic effect on proliferation was further studied in a 8-point dose-response matrix followed by validation in additional four IDHmut GSC lines. CONCLUSION This work can lay the foundation for future improvements of the therapy of patients suffering from LGGs.
