"Textbook of Computer Aided Drug Design" offers a comprehensive introduction to the principles and applications of computer-aided drug design (CADD), a pivotal technology in modern pharmaceutical research and development. This book begins with a foundational overview, tracing the history, techniques, and applications of CADD, setting the stage for deeper exploration into the field. It delves into the intricacies of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR), covering both its theoretical underpinnings and practical applications, including statistical methods and the derivation of QSAR equations.
The text advances into molecular modeling and docking, discussing the roles of molecular and quantum mechanics, energy minimization methods, and the specifics of molecular docking and drug-receptor interactions. It explores the prediction and analysis of ADMET properties, highlighting their significance in drug design, and introduces cutting-edge strategies like de novo drug design and homology modeling.
Further, the book addresses pharmacophore mapping and virtual screening, offering insights into the identification of pharmacophore features, conformational searches, and the latest in silico drug design techniques. With a focus on both foundational knowledge and advanced methodologies, this textbook serves as an essential resource for students and professionals in pharmaceutical sciences, providing the tools needed to innovate in the field of drug discovery.
