Abstract: Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) is a growing effort to apply computational power to the combined chemical and biological space in order to streamline drug discovery design, development, and optimization.This technique of drug discovery and development are very time and resources consuming processes.But this tool can act as a virtual shortcut, assisting in the expedition of this long process and potentially reducing the cost of research and development.This application has been widely used in the biomedical arena, in silico design is being utilized to expedite and facilitate hit identification, hit-to-lead selection, optimize the pharmacokinetic profile, toxicity profile and avoid safety issues.Here in this mini review, we present overviews of computational methods used in the different arena of drug discovery and focusing some of the recent successes.
