Abstract

Computer-Aided Drug Discovery (CADD) has yielded remarkable successes, transforming the pharmaceutical landscape. Notable achievements include the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment and repurposing of drugs for emerging health crises like COVID-19. CADD's role in personalized medicine is exemplified by tailored therapies for genetically defined patient groups in cancer treatment. Moreover, CADD has enhanced drug development efficiency, minimizing attrition rates and reducing costs for pharmaceutical companies. These successes illustrate the pivotal role of CADD in addressing complex diseases, streamlining drug development, and improving healthcare outcomes. Continuous advancements in computational techniques and interdisciplinary collaboration promise further breakthroughs in the field.
