Help restore their vitality. VETORYL® Capsules (trilostane) are the only FDA veterinary- approved treatment for pituitary-dependent and adrenal-dependent hyperadrenocorticism in dogs (Cushing’s syndrome). They contain the active ingredient trilostane, which blocks the excessive production of cortisol. Daily administration of VETORYL Capsules can greatly reduce the clinical signs associated with Cushing’s syndrome, helping to restore the dog’s vitality. Clinical studies demonstrated that treatment with VETORYL Capsules resulted in decreased thirst, decreased frequency of urination, decreased panting, and improvement of appetite and activity.1 Activity levels began to show improvement within 14 days of treatment. As with all drugs, side effects may occur. In field studies and post-approval experience, the most common side effects reported were: anorexia, lethargy/depression, vomiting, diarrhea, elevated liver enzymes, elevated potassium with or without elevated sodium, elevated BUN, decreased Na/K ratio, hypoadrenocorticism, weakness, elevated creatinine, shaking, and renal insufficiency. In some cases, death has been reported as an outcome of these adverse events. VETORYL Capsules are not for use in dogs with primary hepatic or renal dis- ease, or in pregnant dogs.

    Tabei et al. BMC Systems Biology 2019, 13(Suppl 2):39 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12918-019-0691-1 RESEARCH Open Access Network-based characterization of drug-protein interaction signatures with a space-efficient approach Yasuo Tabei1*, Masaaki Kotera2, Ryusuke Sawada3 and Yoshihiro Yamanishi3,4 From The 17th Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Conference (APBC 2019) Wuhan, China. 14–16 January 2019 Abstract Background: Characterization of drug-protein interaction networks with biological features has recently become challenging in recent pharmaceutical science toward a better understanding of polypharmacology. Results: We present a novel method for systematic analyses of the underlying features characteristic of drug-protein interaction networks, which we call “drug-protein interaction signatures” from the integration of large-scale heterogeneous data of drugs and proteins. We develop a new efficient algorithm for extracting informative drug- protein interaction signatures from the integration of large-scale heterogeneous data of drugs and proteins, which is made possible by space-efficient representations for fingerprints of drug-protein pairs and sparsity-induced classifiers. Conclusions: Our method infers a set of drug-protein interaction signatures consisting of the associations between drug chemical substructures, adverse drug reactions, protein domains, biological pathways, and pathway modules. We argue the these signatures are biologically meaningful and useful for predicting unknown drug-protein interactions and are expected to contribute to rational drug design. Keywords: Drug-protein interaction prediction, Drug discovery, Large-scale prediction Background similar drugs are expected to interact with similar pro- Target proteins of drug molecules are classified into a pri- teins, with which the similarity of drugs and proteins are mary target and off-targets.
