Abstract
Drug disposition connects with the movement of drug molecules inside the body after administration irrespective with the route of administration. After entering the system, drug molecule and internal body systems comes under various pharmacokinetic interactions followed by observation of suitable biological activity. In this exhaustive process, physicochemical nature of the chemical substance and physiological nature of system makes this movement competitive. In this view, pharmacokinetic and toxic properties of the molecule regulates the destination of the molecule. Various computational processes are available for in silico pharmacokinetic assessment of drug molecule after absorption through biological membrane, distributed throughout the system based on the percent ionization or partition coefficient factors followed by biologically transformed into an another entity in presence of microsomal enzymes and finally excrete out from system using various cellular transport systems as well as related cellular toxicity behavior. In this chapter, we ensemble all the possible information related with the drug movement and related computational tools to understand the possible chemical and pathophysiological changes. Here detailed knowledge on database expedition, establishment of pharmacophore model, homology modelling based on sequence similarity, molecular docking study (rigid and flexible docking) and QSAR/QSPR study (with detailed process and available softwares) are provided. These diversely united informations actually helps a researcher to understand the factual movement of a drug molecule inside the system.
