Abstract

Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) stands at the forefront of Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), providing a systematic framework for understanding the relationship between the chemical structure of molecules and their biological activity. This review delves into the multifaceted realm of QSAR methodologies within the landscape of drug discovery. Through an exploration of diverse QSAR models, molecular descriptors, validation techniques, and recent advancements, this article aims to elucidate the pivotal role of QSAR in accelerating the development of novel therapeutics. By dissecting the intricacies of QSAR analysis and its application in rational drug design, this review sheds light on the transformative potential of computational modeling in shaping the future of pharmaceutical research. Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) is a pivotal technique in Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) that aids in the rational design of novel drug candidates. This review provides a comprehensive overview of QSAR methodologies, their applications, strengths, limitations, and recent advancements in the field of CADD. By exploring various QSAR models, datasets, molecular descriptors, and statistical techniques, this article aims to shed light on the significance of QSAR in accelerating drug discovery processes.

Keywords: Receptor, drug designing, biological interaction, molecular docking, modelling, drug discovery, computer aided drug design, docking, multi-target searching, QSAR.
