The Application of Web-based Tools in Drug Design Teaching
Computer-aided drug design(CADD)is a significant component of modern medicinal chemistry,with extensive applications in both academic and industrial fields.In recent years,numerous web-based CADD tools have emerged and sufficiently facilitated the teaching of drug design.This article introduces a range of exceptional free online tools,including Swiss Drug Design,Cavity Plus,Pharm Mapper,and ADMETlab,exploring their utilization in drug molecular design courses.Using the case of cyclooxygenase-2 and its inhibitor indomethacin,this article provides a detailed demonstration of employing these tools for practical drug design.The presented methods are applicable not only for teaching demonstrations in theoretical courses but also for hands-on activities in laboratory sessions,serving as guidance for students'innovative research projects.
