*Sunil Babu Rathod and Dr. Vaibhav R. Vaidya

Abstract

The purpose of writing this review to compile the present information, current technologies and other contributing factors used to drug discovery of new molecules which can bind to specific target involved in disease causing. Drug discovery process includes identification of lead structure and its analogs and their screening get drug development. In current drug discovery process, identification of accurate drug target is the important task. Use of in silico methods are widely acceptable in drug discovery. The aim of this review article is to focus on some of the in silico methods used in drug discovery and applications of these methods.

Keywords: Drug Discovery, Molecular Docking, Pharmacophore, QSAR, Insilico Drug Design, HQSAR.
