Efficient algorithms accelerate drug discovery by calculating molecular similarity and diversity. This method uses distance-based topological indices for virtual libraries, reducing time and cost in identifying potential drug leads.

Area of Science:

  • Cheminformatics
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Drug Discovery

Background:

  • Drug lead discovery is costly and time-consuming.
  • Screening molecular libraries requires efficient methods for assessing structural diversity and similarity.
  • Topological indices are crucial for characterizing molecular properties and drug-likeness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present efficient algorithms for computing distance-based topological indices of molecular graphs.
  • To enable rapid calculation of topological indices for virtual combinatorial libraries.
  • To accelerate the screening process in drug lead discovery.

Main Methods:

  • Development of algorithms for computing distance-based topological indices from subgraph invariants.
  • Utilization of vertex- and edge-weighted molecular graphs representing organic compounds.
