CADD: Some Success Stories from Sanjeevini and the Way Forward

Sanjeevini, a comprehensive drug design software suite, has been developed for lead molecule discovery taking off from protein and DNA as potential targets. Sanjeevini is a culmination of multiple modules of significance including detection of active sites in proteins and DNA in an automated manner, screening of a library of a million compounds for hit molecule identification, docking and scoring using all atom energy based algorithms and various other utilities which assist in designing hit molecules with desired affinities and specificities against the given targets. A few of the modules of Sanjeevini software suite along with some of the success stories are illustrated in this chapter.
