Rational drug design strategies from "summary" of Chemistry for Pharmacy Students by Lutfun Nahar,Professor Satyajit D. Sarker
The concept of rational drug design strategies involves the use of scientific principles and techniques to develop new pharmaceutical compounds that specifically target disease-causing molecules in the body. This approach is based on a thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying a particular disease, as well as the structure and function of biological molecules involved in the disease process. One of the key principles of rational drug design is the use of computer-aided molecular modeling techniques to predict the interactions between a potential drug molecule and its target in the body. By analyzing the three-dimensional structure of the target molecule, researchers can design new compounds that are more likely to bind to the target and exert a therapeutic effect. Another import...
