Computer-Aided Drug Discovery and Design: Theory, Methods and Applications - Hardcoverby Holly Lambert (Editor) Modern drug discovery and design programs use computer aided drug discovery (CADD) for identifying and optimizing bioactive compounds used for developing new drugs. It is also known by alternative terms such as in silico pharmacology and computational therapeutics. CADD approaches are vital in identifying viable drug candidates at a low cost. These approaches are usually divided into two types, namely, structure based and
