Drug Design
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 3
Drug Design
• Drug design is the approach of finding drugs by design, based on their biological targets. Typically a drug target is a key molecule involved in a particular metabolic or signalling pathway that is specific to a disease condition or pathology, or to the infectivity or survival of a microbial pathogen.
• Other approaches may be to enhance the normal pathway by promoting specific molecules in the normal pathways that may have been affected in the diseased state.
• In medicine, biotechnology and pharmacology, drug discovery is the process by which drugs are designed

Drug Design
1. Rational Drug Design
2. Computer-assisted Drug Design (CADD)
3. Neural network in Drug Design
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 5
Rational Drug Design
The industry now has the research tools to pursue rational Drug Design successfully, but a new hurdle is being raised:finding a way to generate data and manage our knowledge of disease that maximizes the value of that knowledge
1. Molecular properties
2. Receptor-Based modeling
3. Numerical methods

Computer-assisted Drug Design (CADD)
• Drug design is a three-dimensional puzzle where small drug molecules, ligands, are adjusted to the binding site of a protein.
• The factors which affect the protein-ligand interaction can be characterized by using molecular docking and different quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) methods
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 9
Computer-assisted Drug Design (CADD)
In CoMFA map the colored fields describe how molecular structure can be modified to increase biological activity (CoMFA-Comparative molecular field
analysis)
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 10
Computer-assisted Drug Design (CADD)
• CADD most commonly used tool to model biological system is molecular dynamics
• The model of a receptor refined with molecular dynamics simulations
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 11
Computer-assisted Drug Design (CADD)
3D models of membrane receptors can be refined and validated in a realistic lipid-water-salt environment using molecular dynamics simulations
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 12
Computer-assisted Drug Design (CADD)
• Virtual screening is a computational technique to find novel drug candidates.
• Data from virtual screening can be used to develop predictive models in order to optimize ADMET properties of the candidate molecules.
• The ultimate goal of this procedure is to find investing lead molecules that are worth for further drug research and synthesis.
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 13
Computer-assisted Drug Design (CADD)
New potent inhibitor for the Human Sirutuin Type 2 enzyme was found using a virtual screening technique
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 14
Neural network in Drug Design
• This is the most latest technique being applied to discover new drugs. It works on the same principles as the neural networks found in the human brain.
• This technique makes use of Computer Artificial Intelligence, whereby a computer learns by itself, how to approach a target drug molecule and improves its iterations by itself.
• This technique can be applied to solve complex drug calculations. Desktop computers as well as Super-Computers both are employed for Neural Networks Drug research.
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 15

Drug Discovery
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 17
Drug Discovery
In medicine, biotechnology and pharmacology, drug discovery is the process by which drugs are discovered
The process of drug discovery involves the identification of candidates, synthesis, characterization, screening, and assays for therapeutic efficacy.

1. What is an ideal drug?(Given by mouth and has a beneficial effect {safe &
efficacious} in only ~ 50% !)
2. What is a promising drug candidate?(Most site specific with best combination of target
affinity, highest bioavailability and lowest toxicity)
3. How is a ‘lead’ drug candidate screened for ideal characteristics?

1. Membranes are two-dimensional solutions of oriented lipids and globular proteins that are mobile in the plane of the membrane – fluid-mosaic model
2. Membrane transport is mediated by specific integral membrane proteins – ion channels, porins, transporters (passive), pumps (active)
3. Integral membrane proteins have common structural features – predominantly transmembrane helices

Drug Development
• Drug development or preclinical development is defined in many pharmaceutical companies as the process of taking a new chemical lead through the stages necessary to allow it to be tested in human clinical trials, although a broader definition would encompass the entire process of drug discovery and clinical testing of novel drug candidates.

Drug Delivery
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 44
Drug Delivery• Drug delivery is the method or process
of administering a pharmaceutical compound to achieve a therapeutic effect in humans or animals
• Drug Delivery technologies are patent protected formulation technologies that modifies drug release profile, absorption, distribution and elimination for the benefit of improving product efficacy & safety and patient convenience & compliance
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 45
Drug Delivery
• Most common methods of delivery include the preferred non-invasive peroral (through the mouth), topical (skin), transmucosal (nasal, buccal/sublingual, vaginal, ocular and rectal) and inhalation routes
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 46
Drug Delivery
• Many medications such as peptide and protein, antibody, vaccine and gene based drugs, in general may not be delivered using these routes because they might be susceptible to enzymatic degradation or can not be absorbed into the systemic circulation efficiently due to molecular size and charge issues to be therapeutically effective
• protein and peptide drugs have to be delivered by injection.
21 April 2009 GCP Workshop, NIMS Hyderabad 47
Drug Delivery
• Current efforts in the area of drug delivery include the development of targeted delivery in which the drug is only active in the target area of the body (for example, in cancerous tissues) and in which the drug is released over a period of time in a controlled manner from a formulate
