In the landscape of computer-aided drug design (CADD), polypharmacology design has emerged as a promising approach to address the complexity of many diseases. At CD ComputaBio, we offer advanced polypharmacology design services to help you develop drugs that interact with multiple targets simultaneously, offering more effective therapeutic strategies.
Traditional single-target drugs often fall short in treating multifactorial diseases, where multiple biological pathways are dysregulated. Polypharmacology, the design of drugs that target multiple proteins or pathways, presents an opportunity to overcome these limitations. By modulating multiple targets, it is possible to achieve a more comprehensive and durable therapeutic effect.

Multi-Target Profiling
Comprehensive analysis of multiple disease-related targets to understand their interactions and interdependencies For example, in the case of cancer, profiling multiple kinases and signaling molecules involved in tumor growth and metastasis.
Compound Library Screening for Polypharmacological Hits
Screening of large compound libraries to identify molecules with potential activity against multiple targets.Utilizing advanced screening techniques and algorithms to identify promising candidates.
Drug-Target Interaction Modeling and Prediction
Employing sophisticated computational models to predict and optimize the interactions of compounds with multiple targets.This helps in understanding the binding modes and affinities for each target.
Lead Optimization for Polypharmacological Profiles
Fine-tuning the identified leads to enhance their selectivity and potency towards multiple targets. Incorporating pharmacokinetic and toxicological considerations for improved drug-like properties.
Data Collection and Integration - Gathering and integrating information on the selected targets, including their structures, functions, and known ligands.
01Virtual Screening and Hit Identification - Performing high-throughput virtual screening of compound libraries to identify potential hits.
02Lead Optimization and Candidate Selection - Optimizing the leads based on the experimental results and selecting the most promising candidates for further development.
03Target-Based Polypharmacology
Designing drugs based on the known structures and functions of multiple targets.
This involves developing compounds that can fit into the active sites of multiple proteins.
Systems Biology-Based Polypharmacology
Utilizing systems biology approaches to identify key nodes or pathways in a disease network and targeting them simultaneously.
Fragment-Based Polypharmacology
Starting with small fragments that have activity against one or more targets and building them into multi-target ligands.
This approach allows for the construction of complex molecules in a modular fashion.
