- Abstract
- The fate of administered drugs is largely influenced by their metabolism. For example, endogenous enzyme-catalyzed conversion of drugs may result in therapeutic inactivation or activation or may transform the drugs into toxic chemical compounds. This highlights the importance of drug metabolism in drug discovery and development, and accounts for the wide variety of experimental technologies that provide insights into the fate of drugs. In view of the high cost of traditional drug development, a number of computational approaches have been developed for predicting the metabolic fate of drug candidates, allowing for screening of large numbers of chemical compounds and then identifying a small number of promising candidates. In this review, we introduce in silico approaches and tools that have been developed to predict drug metabolism and fate, and assess their potential to facilitate the virtual discovery of promising drug candidates. We also provide a brief description of various recent models for predicting different aspects of enzyme-drug reactions and provide a list of recent in silico tools used for drug metabolism prediction.
