Chemoinformatics and Drug Discovery
نویسنده
چکیده
This article reviews current achievements in the field of chemoinformatics and their impact on modern drug discovery processes. The main data mining approaches used in cheminformatics, such as descriptor computations, structural similarity matrices, and classification algorithms, are outlined. The applications of cheminformatics in drug discovery, such as compound selection, virtual library generation, virtual high throughput screening, HTS data mining, and in silico ADMET are discussed. At the conclusion, future directions of chemoinformatics are suggested.

Background: The use of new technologies in the field of drug discovery and development plays an important role in introducing new and effective drugs, optimizing the properties of existing drugs and, in general the development of various drug-dependent industries, as well as the general health of human, animal and plant communities. These methods provide new drugs at...
متن کاملAssessment of "drug-likeness" of a small library of natural products using chemoinformatics
Even though natural products has an excellent record as a source for new drugs, the advent of ultrahigh-throughput screening and large-scale combinatorial synthetic methods, has caused a decline in the use of natural products research in the pharmaceutical industry. This is due to the efficiency in generating and screening a high number of synthetic combinatorial compounds; whereas traditional ...

Chemoinformatics, due to its power in gathering information at the molecular level, has a wide array of important applications to biology, including fundamental biochemical studies and drug discovery and optimization. As modern "omics" based profiling and network based modeling and simulation techniques grow in sophistication, chemoinformatics now faces a great opportunity to include systems-le...
متن کاملMolecular optimization using computational multi-objective methods.
Improving the profile of a molecule for the drug-discovery process requires the simultaneous optimization of numerous, often competing objectives. Traditionally, standard chemoinformatics methods ignored this problem and focused on the sequential optimization of each single biological or chemical property (ie, a single objective). This approach, known as single-objective optimization (SOOP), st...
