Purpose: In this review, a set of aryl halides analogs were identified as potent checkpoint kinase1 (Chk1) inhibitors through a series of computer-aided drug design processes, to develop modelswith good predictive ability, highlight the important interactions between the ligand and theChk1 receptor protein and determine properties of the new proposed drugs as Chk1 inhibitorsagents.Methods: Three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (3D-QSAR) modeling,molecular docking and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET)approaches are used to determine structure activity relationship and confirm the stableconformation on the receptor pocket.Results: The statistical analysis results of comparative -molecular field analysis (CoMFA) andcomparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) models that employed for a trainingset of 24 compounds gives reliable values of Q2 (0.70 and 0.94, respectively) and R2 (0.68 and0.96, respectively).Conclusion: Computer–aided drug design tools used to develop models that possess goodpredictive ability, and to determine the stability of the observed and predicted molecules in thereceptor pocket, also in silico of pharmacokinetic (ADMET) results shows good properties andbioavailability for these new proposed Chk1 inhibitors agents.

Molecular Docking is widely used in CADD (Computer-Aided Drug Designing), SBDD (Structure-Based Drug Designing) and LBDD (Ligand-Based Drug Designing). It is a method used to predict the binding orientation of one molecule with the other and used for any kind of molecule based on the interaction like, small drug molecule with its protein target, protein – protein binding or a DNA – protein binding. Docking is very much popular technique due to its reliable prediction properties. This book chapter will provide an overview of diverse docking methodologies present that are used in drug design and development. There will be discussion on several case studies, pertaining to each method, followed by advantages and disadvantages of the discussed methodology. It will typically aim professionals in the field of cheminformatics and bioinformatics, both in academia and in industry and aspiring scientists and students who want to take up this as a profession in the near future. We will conclude with our opinion on the effectiveness of this technology in the future of pharmaceutical industry.

Discovery and development of a new drug is generally known as a very complex process which takes a lot of time and resources. So now a day’s computer aided drug design approaches are used very widely to increase the efficiency of the drug discovery and development course. Various approaches of CADD are evaluated as promising techniques according to their need, in between all these structure-based drug design and ligand-based drug design approaches are known as very efficient and powerful techniques in drug discovery and development. These both methods can be applied with molecular docking to virtual screening for lead identification and optimization. In the recent times computational tools are widely used in pharmaceutical industries and research areas to improve effectiveness and efficacy of drug discovery and development pipeline. In this article we give an overview of computational approaches, which is inventive process of finding novel leads and aid in the process of drug discovery and development research. Keywords: computer aided drug discovery, structure-based drug design, ligand-based drug design, virtual screening and molecular docking
