Overview of Different Software Used in Drug Design and Drug Discovery: a Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The new drug discovery is found to be a time consuming and costly process. Recently, a trend towards the use of in-silico computational chemistry and molecular modeling for computer aided drug design has gained significant momentum. This review is an investigation of the applications of different software in drug design. The modern drug discovery process is steadily becoming more information driven. Structural, physicochemical and ADME information about property profiles of reference ligands, along with structural information of their target proteins, have been extremely useful for early-stage drug discovery. A number of examples have recently been reported for the successful applications of structure based drug design to the discovery of compounds with a potential to become more useful therapeutic agents. Among the reviewed software programs are applications programmed in Grid computing, window based general PBPK/PD modeling software, PKUDDS for structure based drug design, APIS, JAVA, Perl and Python, CADD as well as software including software libraries. These all programs are useful for cheminformatics approaches to drug design and discovery including QSAR studies, energy minimization as well as docking studies in drug design. Furthermore this review explains options for using different computer modeling software programs in drug discovery and design.

Pharmaceutical Advances and Proteomics Researches
Proteomics enables understanding the composition, structure, function and interactions of the entire protein complement of a cell, a tissue, or an organism under exactly defined conditions. Some factors such as stress or drug effects will change the protein pattern and cause the present or absence of a protein or gradual variation in abundances. Changes in the proteome provide a snapshot of the...
