CORRELATION BETWEEN CHEMINFORMATICS AND BIOINFORMATICS IN DRUG DISCOVERY: A FARSIGHT OF PHARMACY-THE MILLENNIUM OATH
Journal Title: Journal of Drug Discovery and Therapeutics - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
All drugs are chemicals but all chemicals are not drugs….This statement always focuses towards the footsteps of a new drug discovery by information technology which is concerned with the drug designing which is followed by two info systems: Cheminformatics is the application of software technology to the chemical science in all about its reflection towards the chemistry of a molecule and Bioinformatics is the application of the same software technology in the organizing the biocompatible drug molecules to the macromolecules. Pharmacy is a subject that is running on it’s two feet: chemistry and biology. The footsteps of the both are lying side by side. Lack of one of these two subjects the balance will be disrupted. Chemistry of a drug molecule is superimposed by the biological activity of the same. Recent technology is flourishing day by day according to the progress of basic pharmaceutical science to combat with diseases caused by microorganisms and anomalies in the normal feedback system in living beings. Advanced technology is spreading rapidly to manufacture the new molecules, which could be helpful for diagnosis, treatment and cure of diseases to accept the challenge for making milestone for the new millennium. It is a playground for a chemist and a biologist to play a game with the newer technology.
