Dr. E. Manivannan Lecturer Medicinal and

Pharmaceutical

Chemistry

1. Computer-aided drug discovery (CADD):

Applications of traditional molecular modeling (TMM), 2D, 3D-Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), Analogue-based design (ABD), Ligand-based design (LBD), structure-based design (SBD) to find therapeutically active small molecules for inflammation, cancer and diabetes. Recently, we are involved in the development of novel CADD approaches and virtual screening methods (VS) to discover new biologically active molecules for breast cancer. 2. Synthesis of biologically active compounds: The designed compounds are synthesized by

facile synthetic methods and experimentally

evaluated for their therapeutic potency.
