Overview on the drug development process and molecular similarity-based virtual screening techniques

Abstract:

Drug development is a very complex task but also very appreciated by the sensibility that generates the negative impact of diseases in modern society. In this review, we will address the general characteristics of the traditional paradigm of drug development pipeline. Later, virtual screening techniques will be introduced as a rational and complementary alternative to the early stages of this process. In this sense, we will focus on similarity searching and its key components.
