Computer aided drug design (CADD) uses computational tools to aid in the drug discovery and development process. It relies on digital repositories to study how potential drug compounds may interact with biological targets. CADD methods can screen thousands of compounds simultaneously, increase the odds of identifying compounds with desired characteristics, and help speed up the drug development process from hit to lead. Some key applications of CADD include lead discovery and optimization, predicting ligand-target interactions, and assessing drug-like properties of compounds.

4. WHAT IS CADD?
CADD is widely
used technology
using
computational
tools and
resources for
the storage,
management,
analysis and
modelling of
compounds
HOW DOES CADD
WORKS?
It relies on
digital
repositories for
the study of
designing
compounds with
physiochemical
characteristics
predicting
whether a given
molecule will be
combined with
the target
WHAT CAN CADD
DO?
Computer based
methods can help
us to search new
hits in drug
discovery,
screen many
irrelevant
compounds at the
same time and
study the SAR of
drug molecules
WHY DO WE USE
CADD?
CADD methods can
increase the
odds of
identifying
compounds with
desired
characteristics,
speed up the hit
to lead to lead
process and
improve the
chances of
getting your
compound past
the hurdles of
preclinical
testing

6. CONCEPT OF CADD
6
Computer-aided Drug Design
A method of designing and optimizing lead compounds based
on compound chemistry, through computer simulations,
calculation and the relationship between drugs and receptor
macromolecules Computer-aided drug design actually
optimizes and designs lead compounds by simulating and
calculating this interaction between the receptor and the
ligand

The emergence of computer-aided drug design has greatly
accelerated the speed of developing new drugs, saving
manpower, material resources and financial resources
for new drug development work, From a theoretical point
of view, it can avoid a certain degree of blindness in
the previous research process and enable intuitive
design. To quide people to develop new drugs
