• Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation: MD, based on Newtonian physics, was first developed in the 1970s. After molecular docking or comparative/homology modeling or computerized models of molecular system-generated after NMR/X-ray crystallography, the protein–ligand pair (or any other pair in question) is subjected to MD simulations. MD is performed in the presence of a solvent to mimic the physiological condition and leverage the pair to interact in every possible conformation in the allowed virtual conformational space. Here, the molecular forces acting on each atom of ligand and proteins are calculated. The force exerted by atoms is quantified following Newton’s second law of motion. Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two vari­ables, the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration is always in the same direction as the net force.

In this system, Newton’s laws of motion also govern the atom’s position change. This process is repeated several times, and every time, the simulation time is increased by only 1 or 2 quadrillionths of a second. The system runs through time, and as time lapses, the potential energy of the atom changes with reference to time. The differentiation of potential energy of every atom with a
change in position is calculated using a dened set of equations and parameters,

which collectively generate a force eld.
In other words, the force elds
are determinants of different forces acting between different atoms during the
molecular dynamics simulations. The force elds are generated via association
between bonded and nonbonded atoms. The chemical bonds, atomic angles, and dihedral angles are responsible for bonded force. The simple virtual springs and sinusoidal function are used to model chemical bonds and atomic angles, and dihedral angles, respectively.
25
On the other hand, Vander Waals, electrostatic interactions contribute to nonbonded forces. Lennard-Jones 6-12 potential and Coulomb’s law are used to model Vander Waals and electrostatic interactions, respectively. To compute the results of MD, many mathematical calculations are required, hence, to perform this study, clusters of computers or supercomputers (having several parallel processors) are used. In MD,
different types of force elds, such as AMBER, NAMD (Nanoscale Molecular
Dynamics), CHARMM, and GROMOS are frequently used. The Message Passing Interface (MPI) facilitates easy and simultaneous implementation of

these force elds on multiple processors. There are different types of MD viz.,
metadynamics, umbrella sampling, and replica-exchange MD. They give better results and help in clear visualization of docking results. Further, an amalga­mation of molecular docking with molecular dynamic simulation and binding
free energies, for example, BEAR (Binding Estimation After Renement)
is a promising approach in the molecular docking technique. BEAR, a post-
docking tool, provides clear and rened MD results and predicts the stability
of ligand–protein complex via binding free energy methods—MM-PBSA and MM-GBSA. Other advanced free-energy predictors are thermodynamic integration (TI), funnel metadynamics, and free energy perturbation (FEP). They can be applied to interpret the post-docking result, but they are too costly.19 Docking results are also analyzed by root-mean-square deviation (RMSD), B-factor analysis, and template modeling score (TMS).

In Alzheimer’s disease (AD) β-amyloid aggregates are responsible for
neurodegeneration in brain. Docking and simulation studies were applied
to identify β-amyloid inhibitors. Several compounds were identied among them Aβ42, and beta-site amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleaving enzyme (BACE) inhibitors (signicant role in AD pathogenesis) were obtained.

In 1990, Johnson et al. proposed a ligand-based approach, based on the “Simi­larity Property Principle.” According to this principle, structurally similar molecules are expected to have similar properties. In this method, the structure of the target remains unknown. With the help of a set of reference ligands, it is determined whether test compounds can interact with the target or not. The test compounds that interact with the target are screened, and their 2D and 3D structures are analyzed. LB-CADD functions in the following way: (1) simi­larity measures—the chemical composition of the active site is known, so the compounds that are chemically similar w.r.t target’s active site are chosen, (2) quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model—These models are constructed by correlating the chemical structures with their experimentally determined biological activity, so that the resultant QSAR model can predict the biological activity of unsynthesized chemical structures. In the QSAR approach, biological activity predominates the entire hit to lead, lead optimiza­tion, and finally DMPK/ADMET optimization process, while in the similarity measure approach, chemical structures are given preference.

There are various determinants of LB-CADD, such as molecular descrip­tors (functional groups, electronegativity and partial charges, polarizability, and octanol/water partition coefficient), binary molecular fingerprints, 2D descriptors of molecular constitution, and 3D descriptors of molecular configuration and conformation that guides the co-ordinated functioning of this drug discovery tool. The knowledge-based, graph-theoretical methods , molecular mechanical, and quantum-mechanical tools determine the following chemical determinants: functional group, geometry, ring content, volume, molecular weight, surface areas, interatomic and bond distances, atom types, molecular walk counts, electronegativities, symmetry, atom distribution, topological charge indices, and aromaticity indices, etc.

In similarity searches, fingerprint methods, similarity networks, off-target predictions (polypharmacology approach), and fingerprint extensions (MTree) are used. In 2006, Bologa et al. identified new agonists of GPR30 (estradiol receptor family) by applying 2D fingerprint and 3D shape­similarity searches. In 2009, Keiser et al. improvised the chemical similarity approach by introducing statistical models into this method. This approach is known as the similarity ensemble approach (SEA). In this method, statistical models are used to foresee whether the ligand will bind to the target or not. The comparison between the sets of interacting ligands is done based on Tanimoto coefficients, which are based on standard 2D Daylight fingerprints (Daylight Chemical Information Systems, 2013). The evalua­tion of competent ligands is done via Raw Similarity Scores, calculated by summing up all Tanimoto coefficients (for the sets having a value greater than 0.57). Another method MTree, a topological model, is an amalgamation of polypharmacology and similarity measures, which predicts and identifies new chemotypes and molecular scaffolds.

Mueller et al. applied qQuantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) to decipher modulators of mGlu5/mGluR5 signaling. In the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS), glutamate is the principal neurotransmitter. The glutamate transmits neuronal signals via ionotropic (N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), kainate,

and amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors), and metabotropic receptors (mGluRs).29 Metabotropic recep­tors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are responsible for neuronal cell migration, proliferation, and inflammation in microglia. In CNS, mGluRs critically regulate the presynaptic transmission (release of neurotransmitters) depending upon the activity of human beings. Based on the signaling pathways and mode of action of drugs, mGluRs are divided into three groups: group I (mGluR1, mGluR5), group II (mGluR2, mGluR3), and group III (mGluR4, mGluR6, mGluR7, and mGluR8). Among them, mGluR5 is prominently expressed in the astrocytes, helps in the modulation of neuronal cell proliferation and is also associated with schizophrenia. The group I mGluRs evoke neuroinflammatory responses and neurodegeneration (by secreting excess glutamate) in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s motor neuron disease (MND), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Therefore, the treatment of neurological problems needs the use of either positive allosteric modulators (PAM) or negative allosteric modulators (NAM). The treatment modality is to decrease the expression of group I receptors and increase the expression of group II and III receptors, except in schizophrenia where PAM is used. Figures 5 and 6 depict the efficiency of ANN QSAR models in finding the agonists (PAM) and antagonists (NAM) of mGluR5 signaling in comparison to traditional HTS. Autotaxin (auto­crine motility factor) is linked with AD, cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. QSAR has been utilized to synthesize autotaxin inhibitors. CoMFA and CoMSIA 3D-QSAR methods have been applied to develop anticancer, anti-hepatitis B-virus (HBV) drugs.

CANDO (http://protinfo.org/cando) is an open system analysis software tool that generates leads with evolutionary connection and has multiple modes of action—potent enough to be categorized as a “drug.” This tool efficiently characterizes the “on” and “off” target effects, which pave the way for drug repurposing. CANDO is based on Moore’s Law of pharmacotherapeutics.

The Computational Analysis of Novel Drug Opportunities determines the lead compounds in the following way31:
• Evolutionary and bioinformatic analysis—A rough prediction is drawn about whether the ligand will interact with the protein (target) or not, based on the evolutionary connections and databases.
219 Drug Discovery for Aging and Neurological Disorders

• Molecular docking and simulations—The rough poses are refined and finalized using fragment-based docking and molecular dynamic simulation (all-atom knowledge-based force fields) studies. During docking and simulation studies, the binding is minutely assessed via digitized interface interaction with each biomolecule. Interaction with different biomolecules improves the hits of query compounds.
• Calculation of binding free energy—The stable interaction between the query and target structure is analyzed by calculating the binding free energy.
CANDO is a way ahead in the drug discovery approach as compared with
virtual screening or traditional high-throughput screening (HTS).
30
Features of CANDO:
• Drug discovery based on evolutionary lineage—CANDO platform rests its belief in the fact that human beings, plants, other organisms, and microorganisms living in the same environment exert beneficiary as well adverse effects on each other. This affirms that the natural products (query compounds) and potent drug candidates function simultaneously via interaction with several biomolecules and acti vation of multiple mechanisms of action in the human system. The evaluation of “signatures of interaction” is done numerically or digi tally. This indicates the bonding between compound–target protein (protein library) and envisages the multiscale relationship a compound can have with other biomolecules. Further “on-target” (positive) and “off-” or “anti-target” (adverse/negative) effects are analyzed through similarity and dissimilarity of query compound-–proteome interac tion signatures, respectively. This sets the ground for lead discovery and drug repurposing.
30
• Predictive bioanalytics—The evolutionary basis of lead discovery directs the predictive bioanalytics, which converts a query compound into a drug (targeting a particular disease or showing a definite indi cation) by combining a homology-driven method (functional at the atomic scale) and heterogeneous biodatabases (recognizes signature interactions at various levels). It utilizes data mining methods to predict the behavioral pattern of biomolecules and search for NCEs (new chemical entities). CANDO platforms generate a number of leads/computing cycles via statistical multiplier effects. Its efficiency is on par with whole-genome shotgun sequencing. This has led to the
