There are many other
advanced methods and new research disciplines for drug design and discovery
such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, chemogenomics etc which improve the
quality of the drug discovery process.
New trends in the
field of drug discovery are transforming the drug discovery mechanisms. The use
of target based drug design is much more practical and long lasting.
The course of the use
of High Throughput Screening (HTS) technique in which a large number of
compounds are screened for their biological activities with the discovered
targets, which are synthesized by combinatorial chemistry, is called hits.
Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR) comprise of immense
significance in discovering analogues, or the new drug candidates.
In this context, the
research published in the research papers is a life-line to scientific
development and the research community. There are quite a number of research
journals available in the field of Combinatorial Chemistry, and Combinatorial
Chemistry & High Throughput Screening (CCHTS) is highly recommended. The
journal has an impact factor of 2.0 as per journal citation report 2012, with
16 volumes already compiled and published. CCHTS publishes research articles
and reviews in the domain of Combinatorial Chemistry. In my opinion, CCHTS is
the most comprehensive and up-to-date medium for all scientists working in
the field of combinatorial chemistry.
