Current Therapy and Computational Drug Designing Approaches for Neurodegenerative Diseases -with Focus on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Conclusion: The findings of this review confirm that therapies and current successful strategies for neurodegenerative disease are mainly symptomatic. Current research is mainly focused on preventing the progress of neurodegeneration. Various in silico techniques; ligand-based methods such as QSAR, virtual screening, pharmacophore mapping and structure-based methods such as homology modeling, docking studies have been used to identify therapeutic compounds for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
