Drug discovery is the process of identifying and characterizing molecules with the potential to safely modulate disease, with a goal to bring medicines that can improve the lives of patients. It is a lengthy and resource intensive process, that requires close cooperation across multiple disciplines.
• Methods of Drug Discovery and Target
validation.
• Combinatorial Chemistry
• Quantitative – Structure Activity and relationship
(QSAR)
• Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD)
,• Drug discovery is the process through which potential new therapeutic entities are identified,
using a combination of computational, experimental, translational, and clinical models
• Drug development and discovery includes preclinical research on cell-based and animal models
and clinical trials on humans, and finally move forward to the step of obtaining regulatory approval
in order to market the drug
• .
• Modern drug discovery involves the identification of screening hits, medicinal chemistry and
optimization of those hits to increase the affinity, selectivity
• Once a compound that fulfills all of these requirements has been identified, it will begin the
process of drug development prior to clinical trials.
o This Special Issue “Drug Design and Discovery: Principles and Applications” was focused on the
basic principles of modern drug design and discovery and the potential applications
o It covered seventeen research articles and one communication contributed from experts all
around the world, as briefed below.
