**7. Conclusion**

Search for discovery and development of new therapeutic inhibitors is an inexhaustible area of research because, even though there are already existing therapeutic inhibitors for different disease conditions, there is always a need for a better option than what is currently available through drug repurposing of already existing drugs or natural products. The abundance of unutilized natural product molecules provides us with a wide range of options from which new and better option therapeutic inhibitors can be sourced. It is well known that the search for the better option is time-consuming and also expensive; there is the need to ensure that the process of discovery and development of new therapeutic inhibitors is undertaken in a manner that minimizes the chances of failure of the process. With the information currently available regarding protein and metabolic pathway databases, ligand and natural product databases, Computer-Aided Drug Design

can be utilized by researchers to initiate steps that will ensure that the most suitable drug repurposing candidates are identified earlier in the process of discovery and development of new therapeutic inhibitor.
