Computer-aided drug discoverydesign methods have played a major role in the development of therapeutically important small molecules for over three decades. These methods are broadly classified as either structure-based or ligand-based methods. Structure-based methods are in principle analogous to high-throughput screening in that both target and ligand structure information is imperative.
Structure-based approaches include ligand docking pharmacophore and ligand design methods. Computer-aided drug discovery CADD tools can act as a virtual shortcut assisting in the expedition of this long process and potentially reducing the cost of research and. With considerable rise in the number of drug targets computational methods such as protein structure prediction methods virtual high-throughput screening and docking methods have been used to accelerate the drug discovery process and are routinely used in academia and in the pharmaceutical industry.
These methods are well established and are now a valuable integral part of the drug discovery. Computational methods have emerged as an approach that is revolutionizing the face of drug discovery. Techniques of computer-aided drug discovery CADD can significantly reduce the time and money spent at the early stage of drug discovery by intelligently highlighting molecules that have a strong chance of acting in the desired way on the drug target without inducing reverse.
Computer-aided drug discoverydesign methods have played a major role in the development of therapeutically important small molecules for over three decades. Tional methods effectively in various phases of the drug discovery and development pipeline. The importance of in silico tools is greater than ever before and has advanced pharmaceutical research.
Here we present an overview of computational methods used in different facets of drug discovery and highlight some of the recent successes. In this review both structure-based and ligand-based. The efficiency of drug discovery and designing process can be increased by effective strategies given by computational methods.
Drug designing is an intense time consuming and an interdisciplinary venture. Traditionally drugs were discovered by synthesizing compounds in a long-drawn-out and multi-step process. Over the past decades computational drug discovery methods such as molecular docking pharmacophore modeling and mapping de novo design molecular similarity calculation and sequence-based virtual screening have been greatly improved.
In this review we present an overview of these important computational methods platforms and successful applications in this field. This Virtual Issue showcases the synergy and complementary nature of these journals by highlighting publications that delineate the.
