摘要

During the last two decades, new techniques and advancements have added layers of complexity to the research done in biotechnology, drug discovery, and biomedical research. Many of the techniques developed have been computational in nature: in effect, taking their particular disciplines in silico (that is, to be executed within the computer). Often, these techniques are lumped under the term of 'biomedical computing'. To visualize these advancements, compare the 'traditional' drug discovery cycle (Figure 1) used by many companies until the early-1980's with the current biological target-based drug discovery cycle (Figure 2) used by most pharmas and biotech concerns today. In the 'traditional' cycle, an initial lead compound was found by isolating a molecule with a certain biological activity, perhaps by ethanobotany or by fortuitous happenstance (as in the discovery of penicillin); modifications of this lead compound were planned using clues provided by a crude analysis of structure-activity relationships (SAR) or by traditional medicinal chemistry techniques. The new, modified compounds were then synthesized and retested. This cycle continued until the particular biological activity of the compound was maximized. This cycle, while successful, was not rapid. It often took 5-6 years to bring a drug to the preclinical phase.
