Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traditionally drug discovery used to be a trial and error process, where chemical compounds from plant and other natural extracts were proposed for action against a disease and then tested for the compounds’ effectiveness in curing the disease on animal or tissue based models. Drug discovery process has now evolved into a much more scientific and rational process due to better understanding of the biological processes and the underlying chemistry, owing to the progress made due to advances in high throughput experimental techniques and availability of high performance computation resources. The process has matured to the stage where drugs are designed now rather than being discovered.
