Based on these computational docking and modeling studies, Tech Mahindra and the partner company shortlisted 10 drug molecules out of 8,000 FDA-approved molecules. These 10 drug molecules were filtered through technology. These were tested in Bengaluru. After this, their number was brought to 3.

Malhotra said that after this we completed computational analysis and our partner completed clinical analysis. He said that this technology is ready technology for future drug discovery.

 

Still need more study

He said that it needs further study on animals, but we are confident that this technique will reduce the drug discovery mechanism in biological computation. We are studying more to check its efficacy. Malhotra said that trials are underway on many drugs all over the world.
