Description

This module will teach you basic principles of Cheminformatics; concepts of drugs and the definition of 'leads, hits and drugs' and the definition of good drugs (hits and leads). Most importantly, you will learn what is required to make a good oral drug 鈥� that is the drug likeness or the metrics used to define it in the Pharmaceutical Industries. In addition, the basic concept of small molecular modelling and molecular properties calculation will be taught. The artificial intelligence (AI) approach used in Drug Discovery will also be taught.

The unique tutorial and practical sections will equip you with good skills in using different calculation methods, software, and online databases to calculate drug likeness.

The questions we ask:

  • What is the definition of a good oral drug?
  • What are the methods and parameters to define drug likeness?
  • What are the commonly used cheminformatics software and databases?
  • What are molecular modelling and artificial intelligence? And how can we use them in drug discovery?
