Abstract

The fight against cancer is a significant global health issue, and creating effective anticancer medications is crucial to addressing this challenge. Traditional methods of developing these drugs are time-consuming and require substantial financial investment. However, computer-aided drug design technology can reduce the time and cost associated with research and development. This paper summarizes various studies that have utilized computer-aided drug design technology to create anticancer drugs. It explores the application of this technology in cancer research and serves as a reference for future development of anticancer medications.
