Drug Discovery and QSAR Techniques

The book was written about Drug discovery and Quantitative Structural Activity. Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) have been applied for decades in developing relationships between physicochemical properties of chemical substances and their biological activities to obtain a robust statistical model for predicting the activities of new chemical entities or molecules.QSAR attempts to correlate structural, chemical, statistical, and physical properties with biological potency using various mathematical methods.Drug discovery is the process of identifying and characterizing molecules with the potential to safely modulate disease, aiming to bring medicines that can improve patients' lives.
