Multiple Targeting Drug Design Services
Multiple Targeting Drug Design is a drug design strategy that aims to simultaneously affect multiple biomolecular targets to improve therapeutic efficacy, minimize side effects, or overcome drug resistance. This strategy is often applied to complex diseases, such as cancer, neurological disorders and infectious diseases, where a single drug target is difficult to meet the therapeutic needs. Multiple targeting drug design aims to address complex diseases by modulating interconnected pathways, enhancing efficacy, reducing side effects, and overcoming drug resistance.

Introduction of Multiple Targeting Drug Design
In the landscape of drug discovery and development, the traditional paradigm of single-target drugs is increasingly giving way to a more holistic approach that targets multiple biological pathways or protein targets simultaneously. Multiple targeting drug design, also known as polypharmacology, offers several advantages, including improved efficacy, reduced side effects, and potential synergistic effects in treating multifactorial diseases.

Approach to Multiple Targeting Drug Design Services
Homology Modelling
The three-dimensional structures of these potential targets are predicted using this method. This helps in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the drugs.
Molecular Docking
The potential interactions between the drug and the target are examined through molecular docking. It helps in predicting the binding affinity between them.
Molecular Dynamics
This technique is used to study the physical movements of atoms and molecules. With this, we can observe the dynamic behavior of the drug-target complex.
