SYMPOSIUM THEME
Human Genome Project is largely complete, so the problem facing
by
scientists is how to maximize the use of the newly acquired data for
improving health care. It is estimated that the number of therapeutic
targets available for drug discovery will increase from the current
number of 600 to 1000 to perhaps as many as 5000 to 10,000. In
addition to the challenges that this number provides to the
pharmaceutical industry, there is the issue of sequence variation
through Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), some of which may
impact upon the way that the body handles drug treatment. This may be
due to a direct effect on the binding site of the protein target
through non-conservative alterations of the amino acid sequence, or
else through indirect effects on drug metabolizing enzymes. In order
to meet these challenges, the combination of structural proteomics and
computer-aided small molecule design provides opportunities for
creating new molecules in silico; these may be designed to bind to
selected pharmacogenetic variants of a protein in order to overcome
the non-responsiveness of certain patient groups to a particular
medicine.
In silico drug discovery methods reduce both time and
cost of development of novel drug/lead molecules. Knowledge about the
molecule, its interaction with the drug, molecular modeling, and new
drug development creates an awareness of the molecule at the organ
level and aids in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of
diseases. Computational tools have the advantage of delivering new
lead candidates more quickly and at lower cost. In the 21st century,in
silico methods facilitate target identification, structure prediction
and lead/drug discovery. The computational methods expect more
reliable and expeditious protocols for development of novel ideas,
which increase the potential leads. The computer-assisted molecular
design has succeeded in the QSAR and protein modeling algorithms to
improve activity of lead compounds. Selecting candidates via the
described in silico virtual screening, should help to reduce the list
of candidate molecules and thereby reduce time and costs
significantly.
