1 Overview of chemical drug design
Abstract: Now a days identifying the novel medicines, drug design is the inventive
process. Drug design that relies on the knowledge of the structure-based drug design is nothing but three-dimensional structure of the biomolecular target. The drug design approach has already proven as quite useful method in identification of many successful drugs. Computational approaches have become important tools to acceler­ate the development of epigenic inhibitors helping in the selection, design and lead identification of new compounds. The drug discovery research of the compound gives significant results if computational technology methods compliment in vitro experi­ments. These compounds may give more favorable ADME and toxicological profiles. This chapter provides an overview of some techniques used in chemical drug design to date.
1.1 Drug design
1.1.1 Introduction
Drug design, also called simply rational design or rational drug design, is the inventive
ess of identifying novel medicines [1]. Most commonly the drug is an organic small
proc molecule that inhibits or activates the function of a biomolecule, which is nothing but a protein; these results are of therapeutic benefit to the patient. Drug design involves the design of molecules that are complementary in shape and charge to the biomolecu­lar target with which they interact and therefore will bind to. Drug design frequently relies on computer modeling techniques which are often referred to as computer-aided drug design [2]. Drug design that relies on the knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of the biomolecular target is known as structure-based drug design [3].
Ligand design is nothing but design of a molecule that will bind tightly to its target [4]. The modeling techniques are successful in prediction of binding affinity of the compound. During clinical phases of drug development, there is more focus on the drug design process, especially on selection of candidate leads based on their predicted physicochemical properties and fewer complications of the drugs during development process so that it can be easily approved in the market as a drug [5]. The drug discovery research of the compound gives good results if computational tech­nology methods compliment in vitro experiments. These compounds may give more favorable ADME and toxicological profiles [6].

1.1.2 Drug targets
Understanding the identity of drug targets that are encoded by the human genome is of great importanc allocation of resources within academic and industrial biomedical research. Many of the potential drug targets are not necessarily disease causing but must by definition be disease modifying [7]. In a specific disease modifying pathway, small molecules (receptor agonists, antagonists, inverse agonists, or modulators; enzyme activators or inhibitors; or ion channel openers or blockers) will be designed to inhibit or enhance the target function [8]. These small molecules will be designed so that they are com­plementary to the binding site of target [9]. The major important approach when considering the designing of small molecule is that they may not affect any other important “off-target” molecules. If the drug interacts with off-target molecules this may lead to undesirable side effects [10]. Protein networks or modules are increas­ingly being studied in the field of network biology using methods from graph theory, which is a growing field within computer science. Most common drugs are produced through chemical synthesis, but biopharmaceuticals (biopolymer-based drugs) pro­duced through biological processes are becoming increasingly more common [11]. In addition, mRNA-based gene silencing technologies may have therapeutic applica­tions [12].

1.1.3 Challenges of drug design
Any drug that is taken undergoes a number of chemical reactions in the liver as the bod
y att
empts to neutralize foreign substances. This set of reactions is well character­ized, and a great deal of knowledge exists as to how drugs are modified as the body eliminates them. Scientists have worked for many years to abolish the limitations of screening by designing molecules to perform specific therapeutic tasks [13].
The general drug-target scheme suggests that three important basic tasks play a key role in structure-based rational drug design. First, the identification of an appro­priate protein target for a given therapeutic need. Second, determination of the distin­guishing structure of the target protein. Finally, designing a structure for a drug which interacts with the target protein. A number of technical difficulties have slowed down the work in the area of structure-based drug design [14].
1.2 Rational drug design
Rational drug design is also sometimes called drug design or rational design. The drug is most commonly an organic small molecule that activates or inhibits the func­tion of a biomolecule such as a protein, which in turn results in a therapeutic benefit

to the patient. Biomolecules play an essential role in disease progression by either protein-nucleic acid interactions or protein-protein interactions, which lead to the alteration of metabolic processes [15–18].
Rational drug design can be broadly classified into two categories:
(a) Development of small molecules with desired properties for targets and biomol-
ecules.
(b) Development of small molecules with predefined properties for targets, whose
cellular functions and their structural information may be known or unknown. Steps related to these two approaches and evaluations of other properties in rational drug design are presented in the following figures (Figs. 1.1–1.3).
After identification of a target, then both approaches A and B for development of small molecules would require examination of several aspects (Fig.1.3). Therefore, rational drug design would be an integral approach to drug development and drug discovery.

1.2.1 Structure-guided computer-aided drug design
Structure-guided methods are an integral part of drug development for known 3D structure of pot
ential drug binding sites, which are the active sites. For a lead discov­ery, this is the starting point of structure-guided drug design for a known target. Once the ligand-bound 3D structure is known, a virtual screening of large collections of chemical compounds, such as ZINC [19], can be performed. Such a screening enables the identification of potential new drugs by performing docking experiments with this collection of molecules. To enhance binding and hence to improve binding affin­ity/specificity, a group of molecules with similar docking scores is generally used for potency determination; this is High-Throughput Screening (HTS) (Fig.1.1).
Besides the evaluation of potency, binding specificity/affinity as well as other properties including drug-like properties (pharmacokinetics) such as log P, molar refractivity, hydrogen bond acceptor and number of hydrogen donors and molecular weight are also determined (Fig.1.3). These parameters are important molecular prop­erties as formulated by [20] and later developed by [21]. Toxicity predictions of the drug itself and its metabolic products can also be examined initially by computational methods; however, these properties should be verified by experimental methods.

The drug design approach has already been proven in that many successful drugs have been developed and some of them are already in use in the market. Among the best example we are discussing here the development of imatinib is worth men­tioning, which is mainly used for the treatment of certain cancers including chronic myelogenous (or myeloid) leukemia (CML).
1.3 Ligand-based drug design
Ligand-based drug design is also called indirect drug design and deals with the information of diverse molecules that bind to the biological target of interest [24]. As an alternative, a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), which is a relationship between calculated properties of molecules and their biological activity determined through an experiment, could also be derived. These QSAR relationships

sequentially could also be used to predict the activity of latest analogs. In ligand­based drug design, you choose series of molecule that have revealed smart activity and run them in software like Sybyl 7.1, here you may get the groups such as hydro­phobic, stearic and hydrophilic groups that are responsible for action [25].
1.4 Structure-based drug design
Structure-based drug design is also known as direct drug design which relies on knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of the biological target obtained through methods such as x-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy [26]. Using the structure of the biological target, candidate drugs that are predicted to bind with high affinity and selectivity to the target may be designed using interactive graphics and the intuition of a medicinal chemist. Alternatively, various automated computational techniques may be used to suggest new drug candidates [27].
Structure-based drug design can be divided roughly into three main categories based on their current methods [28]. (i) The first method (virtual screening) is iden­tification of new ligands for a given receptor. (ii) A second category is de novo design of new ligands [29–31]. (iii) A third method is the optimization of known ligands by evaluating proposed analogs within the binding cavity [28].
1.4.1 Finding leads
The first step in the structure-based design of new inhibitors is elucidating the three­dimensional structur for a compound that binds to the protein of interest; it often exhibits weak affinity or is too toxic, too unstable or has other shortcomings, yet it forms a starting point to develop molecules with improved pharmacological properties [32].
To begin to rival the complexity provided by nature, several groups have turned to screening techniques aimed at discovering tightly binding ligands from combinatorial libraries. For example, the phage display method is based on the display of a random sequence peptide on the surface of a phage. The phage library, typically including 106–108 different peptides, is mixed with the target protein, which is immobilized on the surface of a plate. Nonbinding phages are washed away while the bound ones can be used to decipher the sequence of the peptide bound to the target protein [33]. Alternatives are the affinity screening of synthetic peptide [34] and oligonucleotide [35] peptide-based libraries, chemical libraries [36, 37].

1.4.2 Optimizing leads
Screening procedures generally come up with leads that are far from perfect. These molecules then hav
e to be optimized. At this point, the structure of the target protein in complex with the lead molecule can be extremely useful in suggesting ways to improve the affinity of the lead for the target [38].
1.4.3 Tools for structure-based drug design
Although quantitative ab initio pr
ediction of bindin
g constants remains a tremendous challenge [39, 40], a number of qualitative rules for the design of high affinity ligands can be deduced from the many crystal structures of protein-ligand complexes: (i) Excellent steric and electronic complementarity to the target biomacromolecule
is required.
(ii) A fair amount of hydrophobic surface should be buried in the complex for tight
binding. (iii) Chemical stability. (iv) Sufficient conformational rigidity is essential to ensure that the loss of entropy
upon ligand binding is acceptable. (v) Sufficient solubility in water for inhibition tests and structural studies. (vi) Ease of synthesis, including the avoidance of chiral centers and of ‘dead-end
leads’.
1.4.4 Docking algorithms
Many different strategies are currently in use for docking ligands on a target protein surfac
e: The pr
ogram GRID [41] is an example of the first strategy. Other design pro­grams include AUTODOCK [42], LEGEND [43], and Group Build [44]. Closely related to GRID is MCSS, where thousands of copies of functional groups are simultane­ously but independently positioned optimally on the protein surface by a molecular dynamics protocol [45]. A typical representative of the second strategy for docking is the program LUDI [46]. Other programs include CLIX [47], DOCK [48], GRID-like energy evaluation [49], traditional pharmacophore matching programs like ALADIN [50], FOUNDATION [51], MACCS-3D [52], ChemDBS-3D [53], CATALYST [54, 55] and BOXSEARCH [56].

1.4.5 Three-dimensional ligand databases
For many of the computer programs developed for lead discovery or inhibitor opti­mization, larg compounds are required as essential input. The basic source for experimentally deter­mined structures is the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), containing more than 110,000 organic molecules [57, 58]). All of these contain models of the compounds obtained by structure-generation programs [59] that convert two-dimensional con­nection tables into three-dimensional structures. CONCORD [60] is the most popular of these programs, and has recently been used to convert 5,000,000 organic mole­cules of the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry file [61].

1.5 Pharmacophore-based approaches
Pharmacophore-based approaches describe the background and updated progress of pharmacophore-based drug design and provide the fundamental approach strat­egies on both structure-based and ligand-based pharmacophore approaches. Phar­macophore-based drug design processes include (i) pharmacophore modeling and validation; (ii) pharmacophore-based virtual screening, virtual hit profiling and lead identification [62].
1.6 Structure-based approaches
The other branch at the first decision point is used when the three-dimensional struc­ture of the enzyme or complex is known. The process typically begins by generating a working computational model from crystallographic data, but methods to develop models of the binding site from active ligands are becoming more prevalent [63–66].
1.7 New lead generation
Generation of new lead compounds can be accomplished using de novo design methods to design new structures [67, 68] by searching databases [69–75] of known chemicals for particular structural features. De novo molecular design methods may design structures by sequentially adding or joining molecular fragments to a growing structure [76–78], by adding functionality to an appropriately sized molecular scaf­fold, or by evolving complete structures [79–81]. Some de novo design methods have concentrated on the design of diverse molecular scaffolds [82] or on the develop­ment of diverse substituents to place on a single scaffold. Methods of ligand evalua­tion include graphical visualization of the ligand in the binding site, substitution of
