Applied of bioinformatics in drug discovery and drug development: Bioinformatic analysis 1996-2024

Abstract

Drug discovery and drug development were two complex process to find new drugs. Advance science of medicine after human genome project were established accelerating the development of new field called bionformatics. Currently, bioinformatics integrated multidisciplinary studies including molecular biology, mathematics and information engineering. This study utilized the Biblioshiny and VosViewer databases as well as the Scopus database to evalute the study related to the bioinformatics in Drug Discovery and Drug Development. Our study were analyzed the scopus data which were retrieved from 1996-2024. We highlighted that 1581 research articles which were publised in 701 journals. Our findings showed that the annual grow up of the research related study was increased annually with the peak of study in 2023. Besides, top five most relevant sources of study was PlosOne (32 documents), international journal of molecular sciences (30 documents), BMS Bioinformatics (29 documents), Bioinfromatics (24 documents), and Frontiers in Genetics (19 documents). In conclusion, through the integration of the use of Vosviewer, biblioshiny and Scopus database software, our findings show a positive trend regarding research on the application of bioinformatics in drug discovery and drug development.
