Some people believe that Alternative medicine has no side effects. My opinion is that a medicine that doesn?t have side effects is a medicine that doesn?t have any effect at all. And if you believe that Chinese medicine has no side effects, think again. Chinese medicine actually has many side effects., delicious.com

Cathi Hanauer. A story of a woman who suffered anxiety issues for much of her life relates her experience with starting, living with, and getting off an SSRI antidepressant. Hanauer carefully relates the pros and cons she found in taking the drug, including a more relaxed and fearless attitude . . . but also, a sense of detachment from her life. She draws attention to some major problems with SSRI's that were not made clear to her---including unknown long-term effects and a very difficult withdrawal stage when she finally decided to stop medication., delicious.com

PLoS Comput Biol, Vol. 3, No. 11. (November 2007), e217.Early identification of adverse effect of preclinical and commercial drugs is crucial in developing highly efficient therapeutics, since unexpected adverse drug effects account for one-third of all drug failures in drug development. To correlate protein-drug interactions at the molecule level with their clinical outcomes at the organism level, we have developed an integrated approach to studying protein-ligand interactions on a structural proteome-wide scale by combining protein functional site similarity search, small molecule screening, and protein-ligand binding affinity profile analysis. By applying this methodology, we have elucidated a possible molecular mechanism for the previously observed, but molecularly uncharacterized, side effect of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). The side effect involves the inhibition of the Sacroplasmic Reticulum Ca2+ ion channel ATPase protein (SERCA) transmembrane domain. The prediction provides molecular insight into reducing the adverse effect of SERMs and is supported by clinical and in vitro observations. The strategy used in this case study is being applied to discover off-targets for other commercially available pharmaceuticals. The process can be included in a drug discovery pipeline in an effort to optimize drug leads and reduce unwanted side effects.L Xie, J Wang, PE Bourne, citeulike.org
