Abstract

Plant-derived drugs have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and continue to play a significant role in modern drug discovery. Understanding the physicochemical properties of these compounds is essential for predicting their behavior in biological systems and optimizing their therapeutic potential. This review explores the application of multiscale simulations and data-driven approaches in investigating the physicochemical properties of plant-derived drugs. The physicochemical properties discussed include solubility, permeability, partition coefficient, and stability, which are critical determinants of drug efficacy and bioavailability. Multiscale simulations, such as molecular dynamics simulations, quantum mechanical calculations, and coarse-grained modeling, provide insights into the molecular behavior and interactions of plant-derived drugs, aiding in the design and optimization of drug candidates. Data-driven approaches, including machine learning algorithms, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling, and big data analytics, offer valuable tools for analyzing large datasets and predicting the physicochemical properties of plant-derived drugs. These approaches enable the identification of key molecular descriptors and patterns that influence drug behavior, facilitating the rational design and selection of drug candidates. Looking ahead, advancements in computational power, as well as the integration of experimental and computational approaches, hold promise for further enhancing our understanding of the physicochemical properties of plant-derived drugs. Continued research in this field will contribute to the discovery and development of novel, effective, and safe plant-derived therapeutics. In conclusion, the combination of multiscale simulations and data-driven approaches provides a powerful framework for exploring the physicochemical properties of plant-derived drugs. This integrated approach offers valuable insights into drug behavior, supporting the rational design and optimization of plant-derived therapeutics for various diseases and conditions.
