In the last decade, thousands of drug molecules are newly developed. So, its very important to manage these useful chemical data with the help of Chemical Databases. Thus, there is an emergence of novel field named as “Chemoinformatics”. One can easily solve the chemical based problems with the help of Informatics approaches. The use of information technology and organic chemistry playing an extremely crucial role in the drug discovery process. Thus, Chemoinformatics is a generic term that encompasses the design, creation, organization, management, retrieval, analysis, dissemination, visualization, use of chemistry based information and gives the promising results in the ADME properties prediction and in the Medicinal Chemistry.
