In-silico expectations of pharmaceutical industry to design of new drug molecules

Abstract

Increasing costs of drug development and reduced number of new chemical entities have been a growing concern for new drug development in recent years. A number of potential reasons for this outcome have been considered. One of them is a general perception that applied sciences have not kept pace with the advances of basic sciences. Therefore, there is a need for the use of alternative tools to get answers on efficacy and safety, with more certainty and at lower cost. One such alternative tool is the in silico drug design or the computer aided drug design (CADD). 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 of pharmaceutical industry to identify many new potential drugs than the conventional approaches. It emphasizes on how we can develop better and competitive drugs with the use of software and wet lab synchronization and the hope of developing better tools to facilitate human life the comfort and disease competitive
