In the ever-evolving field of drug research and development, various strategies have been developed to facilitate the drug discovery process. One such approach is Ligand-Based Drug Design (LBDD), a computer-aided drug design (CADD) strategy. At CD ComputaBio, we integrate cutting-edge technology and advanced computational algorithms to offer unique LBDD solutions to our clients worldwide. LBDD is primarily a strategy that uses the knowledge about the previously known active ligands to predict new drug candidates. This concept is based on the principle that structurally similar compounds will likely have similar biological effects. Using various computational methods, LBDD can identify novel potential therapeutic agents with improved potency and reduced side effects.

Ligand-Based Drug Design
Virtual Compound Library Design
Molecular Similarity
ADMET Prediction
- Virtual Screening: Employing molecular docking and pharmacophore modeling to identify potential drug candidates that bind favorably to a target protein.
- Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) Analysis: Investigating the relationship between chemical structure and biological activity to optimize lead compounds.
- Pharmacophore Modeling: Generating 3D models of molecular features essential for interactions with biological targets, aiding in rational drug design.
ADMET Prediction
Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity (ADMET) profiling to assess the pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of candidate compounds.
Virtual Compound Library Design
Construction of custom compound libraries based on specific target requirements, facilitating high-throughput screening and lead discovery.
Molecular Similarity
We analyze the similarity between compounds to select drug candidates with better profiles concerning selectivity, specificity, and efficacy.
Algorithms in Ligand-based Drug Design
Scaffold Hopping
Our scaffold hopping strategies empower the exploration of diverse chemical space and the generation of novel drug scaffolds with unique pharmacological properties. By leveraging advanced computational algorithms and structure-based design principles, we facilitate the rapid identification of structurally distinct compounds for drug discovery.
Molecular Docking
Our molecular docking algorithms enable the accurate prediction of ligand-protein interactions, allowing for the exploration of ligand binding modes and binding affinities. By simulating the dynamic interactions between ligands and target proteins, we facilitate the identification of lead compounds with the highest binding potentials, thereby expediting the drug discovery process.
Lead Optimization
Through iterative cycles of computational modeling, virtual screening, and molecular docking, we guide the lead optimization process to enhance the potency, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties of drug candidates. By leveraging predictive modeling and structure-guided design strategies, we expedite the refinement of lead compounds.
Sample Requirements
- We need the chemical structures of your active and inactive compounds in formats like mol files, smiles strings, or sdf. If you have any specialized biological activity data of your compounds, please provide that too.
- Additionally, if you could specify the properties you wish to focus on (like aqueous solubility, toxicity, bioavailability), it would further assist us in providing tailored solutions.
