Query OpenTargets for drug targets, disease associations, and therapeutic evidence. Use when user asks about drug targets, disease mechanisms, target validation, or drug-disease associations. Triggers on "opentarget", "drug target", "target validation", "disease association", "therapeutic target", "drug for disease".

OpenTargets Platform Query

Query the OpenTargets Platform GraphQL API for drug-target-disease associations.

When to Use

  • User asks about drug targets for a disease
  • User wants disease-gene associations
  • User asks about drugs targeting a specific gene
  • User wants evidence for target validation

How to Execute

python
import requests
import json
OPENTARGETS_URL = "https://api.platform.opentargets.org/api/v4/graphql"
def query_opentargets(graphql_query, variables=None):
payload = {"query": graphql_query, "variables": variables or {}}
r = requests.post(OPENTARGETS_URL, json=payload, headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"})
r.raise_for_status()
return r.json()

# Example: Find top drug targets for Alzheimer's
result = search_disease("Alzheimer")
hits = result.get("data", {}).get("search", {}).get("hits", [])
if hits:
disease_id = hits[0]["id"]
targets = disease_targets(disease_id, size=5)
disease = targets.get("data", {}).get("disease", {})
print(f"Disease: {disease.get('name')} ({disease.get('id')})")
for row in disease.get("associatedTargets", {}).get("rows", []):
t = row["target"]
print(f" {t['approvedSymbol']} ({t['approvedName']}) — score: {row['score']:.3f}")

Common Disease IDs (EFO)

  • Alzheimer's: EFO_0000249
  • Breast cancer: EFO_0000305
  • Type 2 diabetes: EFO_0001360
  • Parkinson's: EFO_0002508

Follow-up Suggestions

  • "Want me to check what drugs are in clinical trials for this target?"
  • "Should I look at the evidence breakdown by data source?"
  • "Want me to find the top genetic associations?"
