Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical role of tubulin in cancer treatment and the innovative use of computational approaches to develop targeted anticancer agents. It explores the structure and function of tubulin, highlighting its importance in cell division and the challenges of traditional chemotherapeutic agents. The text discusses various computational tools, such as molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and pharmacophore modeling, which are revolutionizing drug discovery by predicting binding affinities, optimizing lead compounds, and accelerating the identification of novel tubulin inhibitors. Additionally, it covers the integration of experimental data with computational strategies and the future prospects of AI and machine learning in enhancing drug design. The chapter concludes with a vision of precision oncology, where advanced technologies promise more effective and safer treatments for cancer.
