THE ROLE OF COMPUTATIONAL TECHNIQUES IN RETROMETABOLIC DRUG DESIGN STRATEGIES... 

Two different predictive methods to estimate log P iv, were developed within our own Center. Considering the diversity of retrometabolic drug design approaches, such versatility is needed since at different ends of the retrometabolic loop one has to deal with vei7 different molecular structures. 

These drug design approaches were designated as retrometabolic to emphasize that...
