In the post-COVID-19 era, treatment options for potential SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks remain limited. An increased incidence of central nervous system (CNS) disorders has been observed in long-term COVID-19 patients. Understanding the shared molecular mechanisms between these conditions may provide new insights for developing effective therapies. This study developed an integrative drug-repurposing framework for COVID-19, leveraging comorbidity data with CNS disorders, network-based modular analysis, and dynamic perturbation analysis to identify potential drug targets and candidates against SARS-CoV-2. We constructed a comorbidity network based on the literature and data collection, including COVID-19-related proteins and genes associated with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and autism spectrum disorder. Functional module detection and annotation identified a module primarily involved in protein synthesis as a key target module, utilizing connectivity map drug perturbation data. Through the construction of a weighted drug–target network and dynamic network-based drug-repurposing analysis, ubiquitin–carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 emerged as a potential drug target. Molecular dynamics simulations suggested pregnenolone and BRD-K87426499 as two drug candidates for COVID-19. This study introduces a dynamic-perturbation-network-based drug-repurposing approach to identify COVID-19 drug targets and candidates by incorporating the comorbidity conditions of CNS disorders.
