Abstract
Lead identification and optimisation have evolved into multidimensional, multidisciplinary and information-driven processes. Herein, we review the contribution of computational chemistry to these processes. We focus on computational approaches developed for modelling biopharmaceutical properties, including in vitro activity, selectivity, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity. Whenever possible, successful applications are mentioned.
Keywords: lead discovery, lead optimisation, molecular descriptors, pharmacophores, quantitative structure-activity relationships

Exploring Spectral Graph Theory in Combinatorial Chemistry
Combinatorial chemistry involves the synthesis and analysis of a large number of diverse compounds simultaneously. Traditional methods rely on brute-force experimentation, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Spectral graph theory, a branch of mathematics dealing with the properties of graphs in relation to the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices associated ...read more
