Pharmaceuticals Research 2016 - Current Trends in Bridging Bio-analytical and Computational Chemistry in Pharmaceuticals Research

Bio-analytical chemistry is a diverse range of disciplines, including biotechnology, biopharmaceuticals and diagnostics. It can be defined as the development and application of chemical measurements and instrumentation to solve problems in biology, biochemistry and medical science. For the pharmaceutical industry, bio-analytical chemistry is often synonymous with measurements inbiological samples, typically in support of investigations of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. Biological materials and pharmaceutical products are very complex mixtures. They often contain proteins, salts, acids, bases and numerous organic
compounds that may be similar to the analyte of interest. Furthermore, the analytes often exist at low concentration in these samples. Despite significant advances in the development of highly efficient analytical instruments for the end point determination of analytes in biological samples and pharmaceutical products, a pre-treatment step is usually necessary to extract and isolate the analyte of interest from complex matrices. Computational chemistry is a versatile tool, which helps to predict the interactions (Protein-Protein, Drug-Protein and DrugLigand), nature and function of new chemical compounds and materials. It has enhanced the quality of life by improving research,thereby producing the quality products from pharmaceuticals. In drug discovery, effective use of computational chemistry shortens
the development cycle for new drugs and provides pharmaceutical companies a competitive advantage with faster time-todiscoveryand reduced costs. Today, significant advancements in software development, the ability to perform complex data analysis,and the ability to predict the interactions, properties of new chemical compounds and materials before any laboratory effort is expended have brought enormous efficiency to the pharmaceutical research community. We invite authors to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will demonstrate and motivate theongoing efforts to understand the recent trends in bridging the Bio-analytical and Computational chemistry in Pharmaceuticalapplications.
