Popis: Abstract Breast cancer and diabetes are significant health challenges, and effective treatments for both diseases are lacking. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have demonstrated anticancer and hypoglycemic effects, but their mechanisms of action are not yet fully understood. We used the GeneCards and PharmMapper databases to identify therapeutic targets for diabetes, breast cancer and PPIs. We identified common targets and constructed a regulatory network of diseases and drugs using the STRING database and Cytoscape software. We also explored the binding between small molecule ligands and protein receptors using Discovery Studio software. We identified 33 shared targets for breast cancer, diabetes, and PPIs including lansoprazole, omeprazole, and pantoprazole, which play a critical role in fatty acid transport, insulin resistance, apoptosis, and cancer-related signaling pathways. Our findings demonstrated that PPIs had a strong affinity for AKT1 and MMP9. This study provides insights into the mechanisms of action of PPIs in breast cancer and diabetes and identifies AKT1 and MMP9 as critical targets for future drug development. Our findings highlight the potential of PPIs as a novel therapeutic approach for these challenging diseases.
