Effort to cut down the research timeline and cost by reducing wet-lab experiment use computer modeling
Others have done the work. Some have used the work. I have spoken only on behalf of their behalf.
A QSAR is a mathematical relationship between a biological activity of a molecular system and its geometric and chemical characteristics.
QSAR attempts to find consistent relationship between biological activity and molecular properties, so that these “rules” can be used to evaluate the activity of new compounds.
The screening of chemical libraries with traditional methods, such as high-throughput screening (HTS), is expensive and time consuming. Quantitative structure–activity relation (QSAR) modeling is an alternative method that can assist in the selection of lead molecules by using the information from
reference active and inactive compounds. This approach requires good molecular descriptors that are representative of the molecular features responsible for the relevant molecular activity.
CADD is a mixture of bioinformatics and computer science where the information from bioinformatics is combined into a software which makes it easier to process.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

• Clinical and Pre-clinical trials.
• Prediction of properties and Drug-likeness.
• Advanced treatments of protein-ligand
binding.
• Summary

3. Computer aided drug designing.
• Drug design with the help of computers may
be used at any of the following stages of drug
discovery:
– hit identification using virtual screening
(structure- or ligand-based design)
– hit-to-lead optimization of affinity and selectivity
(structure-based design, QSAR, etc.)
– lead optimization optimization of other
pharmaceutical properties while maintaining
affinity

• the classical project-collaboration approach between chemistry, biology
and drug metabolism (ADME) groups in the 1990s
• a much more automated world at the start of this millennium in which
combinatorial chemistry (Combi-Chem), high-throughput screening and
ADME studies are linked together in a streamlined fashion.

5. Computer aided drug designing.
• In order to overcome the insufficient prediction of binding affinity
calculated by recent scoring functions, the protein-ligand
interaction and compound 3D structure information are used to
analysis. For structure-based drug design, several post-screening
analysis focusing on protein-ligand interaction has been developed
for improving enrichment and effectively mining potential
candidates:
– Consensus scoring
• Selecting candidates by voting of multiple scoring functions
• May lose the relationship between protein-ligand structural information and
scoring criterion
– Geometric analysis
• Comparing protein-ligand interactions by visually inspecting individual
structures
• Becoming intractable when the number of complexes to be analyzed
increasing
– Cluster analysis
• Represent and cluster candidates according to protein-ligand 3D information
• Needs meaningful representation of protein-ligand interactions.

6. Clinical Trials
• Sets of tests in medical research and drug development
that generate safety and efficacy data
• Only after satisfactory information has been gathered on
the quality of the nonclinical safety, and health
authority/ethics committee approval is granted
• The most commonly performed clinical trials evaluate
new drugs, medical devices (like a new catheter),
biologics, psychological therapies, or other interventions.
6
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_trial
7. Clinical Trials
• Clinical trial may be designed to do:
– Assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device on
a specific kind of patient
– Assess the safety and effectiveness of a different dose of a medication
than is commonly used
– Assess the safety and effectiveness of an already marketed
medication or device for a new indication
– Assess whether the new medication or device is more effective for the
patient's condition than the already used ("the gold standard" or
"standard therapy")
– Compare the effectiveness in patients with a specific disease (e.g.,
device A vs. device B, therapy A vs. therapy B)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_trial
7
8. Clinical Trials
• 5 different types
– Prevention trials
• find better ways to prevent disease in people (medicines, vitamins, vaccines,
minerals, or lifestyle changes)
– Screening trials
• test the best way to detect certain diseases or health conditions.
– Diagnostic trials
• find better tests or procedures for diagnosing a particular disease or condition.
– Treatment trials
• test experimental treatments, new combinations of drugs, or new approaches to
surgery or radiation therapy.
– Quality of life trials
• ways to improve comfort and the quality of life for individuals with a chronic
illness.
– Compassionate use trials
• provide partially tested, unapproved therapeutics to a small number of patients
who have no other realistic options.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_trial
8
9. Clinical Trials
• Clinical trials involving new drugs are commonly classified into
four phases.
– Phase 0: Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics
– Phase 1: Screening for safety
– Phase 2: Establishing the testing protocol
– Phase 3: Final testing
– Phase 4: Post approval studies
• Each phase has a different purpose and helps scientists
answer a different question:
• Before pharmaceutical companies start clinical trials on a
drug, they conduct extensive preclinical studies.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_trial
9
10. Preclinical Trials
• Before clinical trials, during which important feasibility,
iterative testing and drug safety data is collected
• To determine a product's ultimate safety profile
– Pharmacodynamics (what the drug does to the body) (PD)
– pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the drug) (PK)
– ADME
– toxicity testing through animal testing
• Both in vitro and in vivo tests will be performed
• Based on pre-clinical trials, No Observable Effect Levels
(NOEL) on drugs are established, which are used to determine
initial phase 1 clinical trial dosage levels on a mass API per
mass patient basis.

18. How are ADMET data obtained?
• Three ways
– Automated in vitro assays
– In silico selection of both the relevant assays and the compounds that go
through them
– Predictive models that can possibly replace in vitro or in vivo experiments
• The predictions come from regression equations or neural
networks
• QikProp – Fast and executed for large libraries
– Input is 3D structure
– Output is profile of
• Structural features (Surf Area and H bonding potentials)
• ADME properties
• Undesirable functionality
• Primary metabolites
• Comparison with other drugs
The Many Roles of Computation in Drug Discovery, Science

19. How are ADMET data obtained?
• The two drugs approach hydrophobic and Hydrophilic extremes
• Hydrophobic
– Poor solubility
– High serum protein binding
– Good Cell permeability
• The Opposite is true in case of hydrophilic compounds
• This is responsible for the solubility vs. permeability struggle

Chemistry
• Predictions are not perfect at this point.
• series of molecules is focused around a lead and is further
optimized towards a clinical candidate, more robust mechanistic
models will be required.

25. Prediction of Properties and Drug-likeness
• Good predictive models for ADMET parameters depend
crucially on
– selecting the right mathematical approach
– the right molecular descriptors for the particular
ADMET endpoint
– sufficiently large set of experimental data for the
validation of the model
• Several published ADME data sets are available for data
modeling, but the quality of the data and the number of
available training examples remain important issues.

26. Advanced treatments of protein-ligand
binding.
• For obtaining better accuracy and to match
computing demands
• Monte Carlo statistical mechanics or
Molecular Dynamics simulations are applied
– Classical force field is used
– Sampling all degrees of freedom of complexes
– Representation of water molecule in aqueous
surroundings
The Many Roles of Computation in Drug Discovery, Science
26
27. Advanced treatments of protein-ligand
binding.
• Free Energy Perturbation and Thermodynamic
Integration compute free energy changes.
• Perturbations are made to convert one ligand to another
using Thermodynamic cycles
• Δ Δ Gb = Δ GX – ΔGY = Δ GF – ΔGC gives the difference in
free energies of ligands binding X and Y
• Two series of mutations are performed to convert X to Y
unbound in water and complexed with biomolecule
which yield Δ GF and ΔGC.
• Same cycle can be performed with One inhibitor and 2
proteins
The Many Roles of Computation in Drug Discovery, Science
27
28. Advanced treatments of protein-ligand
binding.
• Inclusion of water makes the representation more realistic
• water molecules that form hydrogen-bonded bridges
between inhibitors and protein hosts are well illustrated
• Water molecules form specific clathrate-like networks
around nonpolar groups
• Optimization of the water structure is becoming a more
common part of inhibitor design
• Other Strengths
– rigor
– extensive sampling
– binding affinities.
• remains difficult to handle large structural differences
between ligands as in changing the core structure
The Many Roles of Computation in Drug Discovery, Science
28
29. Advanced treatments of protein-ligand
binding.
• Hybrid Methods
– Linear response theory
– free energy of interaction of a solute with its environment is given by one-half
the electrostatic energy plus the van der Waals energy scaled by an empirical
parameter
– For binding a ligand to a protein, the differences in the interactions between
the ligand in the unbound state and bound in the complex then provide an
estimate of the free energy of binding.
– Energy components are obtained from MC or MD simulations for inhibitors in
water and for the protein-inhibitor complexes in water.
• Advantages
– absolute free energies of binding can be approximated
– only simulations at the endpoints of a mutation are required
– computing demands are reduced to a few hours per compound.
– Easy to treat structurally diverse ligands
– Better accuracy
