The early stages of research related to drug discovery, including the identification of a relevant biological target and a viable lead compound, play an important role in the overall success of a drug candidate in preclinical and clinical studies. The process of drug development, beginning from the discovery of a pharmacological lead to its commercial launch, is estimated to take around 10-15 years, involving capital investments in the range of USD 4 billion - USD 10 billion. Over time, the complexities associated with drug discovery have increased, specifically, for large molecules, which are inherently more complex than small molecule drugs. In order to overcome various challenges related to drug discovery, such as rising capital requirements and failure of late-stage programs, several pharmaceutical players are currently exploring the implementation of quantum computing in drug discovery processes.
Quantum computing is a process that uses laws of quantum mechanics to solve large and complex problems in a short span as compared to the computer-aided drug discovery. Currently, there are several quantum computing related approaches that are being used in the drug discovery process alone, such as structure-based drug design, fragment-based drug discovery and ligand-based drug discovery. The predictive power of quantum computing has proven to reduce the complexity, cost and time investment in the overall drug discovery procedure by allowing researchers to bypass the random screening of billions of molecules in a short span of time. As a result, the pharmaceutical industry stakeholders have started relying on the companies offering quantum computing software and hardware to support drug discovery. Furthermore, considering the various initiatives being undertaken actively by quantum computing companies, we are led to believe that the opportunity for stakeholders in quantum computing market, upcoming industry is likely to grow at a steady pace in the foreseen future.
