An Insight to Drug Designing by In Silico approach in Biomedical Research
Chethan Kumar S · 2013
Drug discovery process basically is a patient oriented science, where researchers strive to improve the existing drugs or invent a totally new chemical entity, which should be ideally more potent than any existing drug of a similar category. The development of new drugs with potential therapeutic applications is one of the most complex and difficult process. Millions of capital and man-hours are devoted to the discovery of new therapeutic agents. Intervention of computers at some plausible steps is imperative to bring down the cost and time required in the drug discovery process. In Silico drug designing is a form of computer-based modeling whose technologies are applied in drug discovery processes. This approach has given tremendous opportunity to identify many new potential drugs than the conventional approaches. This article provides an insight to various steps involved the Drug Designing process.
