Worldwide, colorectal cancer takes up the third position in commonly detected cancer and fourth in cancer mortality. Recent progress in molecular modeling studies has led to significant success in drug discovery using structure and ligand-based methods. This study highlights aspects of the anticancer drug design. The structure and ligand-based drug design are discussed to investigate the molecular and quantum mechanics in anti-cancer drugs. Recent advances in anticancer agent identification driven by structural and molecular insights are presented. As a result, the recent advances in the field and the current scenario in drug designing of cancer drugs are discussed. This review provides information on how cancer drugs were formulated and identified using computational power by the drug discovery society.

: Some species of Cordyceps sensu lato are famous Chinese herbs with significant biological activities, often used as edible food and traditional medicine in China. Cordyceps represents the largest entomopathogenic group of fungi, including 40 genera and 1339 species in three families and incertae sedis of Hypocreales. Objective: Most of the Cordyceps-derivatives have been approved clinically for the treatment of various diseases such as diabetes, cancers, inflammation, cardiovascular, renal and neurological disorders and are used worldwide as supplements and herbal drugs, but there is still need for highly efficient Cordyceps-derived drugs for fatal diseases with approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Methods: Computer-aided drug design concepts could improve the discovery of putative Cordyceps- derived medicine within less time and low budget. The integration of computer-aided drug design methods with experimental validation has contributed to the successful discovery of novel drugs. Results: This review focused on modern taxonomy, active metabolites, and modern drug design techniques that could accelerate conventional drug design and discovery of Cordyceps s. l. Successful application of computer-aided drug design methods in Cordyceps research has been discussed. Conclusion: It has been concluded that computer-aided drug design techniques could influence the multiple target-focused drug design, because each metabolite of Cordyceps has shown significant activities for the various diseases with very few or no side effects.
