ABSTRACT

Bioinformatics is the very fast emerging field in our pharmaceutical industries. The field was widely used in other branches like biotechnology, biology and many other fields and nowadays finding a wide application in the pharmacy field. The work describes different aspects related to application of computers in drug designing, discovery and development, formulation designing. Bioinformatics is the combination of computers, databases, statistics, graphs and 3-d plots make the big problem of designing the new formulation of a total new molecule is the most interesting aspect of this field in the pharmaceutical field. Optimization process which helps to reduce the number of experiment to be conducted and help the research scientist. Also bioinformatics helps to link the information obtain from different field. The different software’s like design-ease, stat-ease, design-expert etc. are available for all the aspects in designing the formulation makes the costly and time consuming process very easy, fast and cost effective.

Keywords: Bioinformatics, optimization, stat-ease, design-expert.
