Abstract
Unfavorable bioavailability is an important aspect underlying the failure of drug candidates. Computational approaches for evaluating drug-likeness can minimize these risks. Over the past decades, computational approaches for evaluating drug-likeness have sped up the process of drug development and were also quickly derived to pesticide-likeness. As a result of many critical differences between drugs and pesticides, many kinds of methods for drug-likeness cannot be used for pesticide-likeness. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehensively compare and analyze the differences between drug-likeness and pesticide-likeness, which may provide a basis for solving the problems encountered during the evaluation of pesticide-likeness. Here, we systematically collected the recent advances of drug-likeness and pesticide-likeness and compared their characteristics. We also evaluated the current lack of studies on pesticide-likeness, the molecular descriptors and parameters adopted, the pesticide-likeness model on pesticide target organisms, and comprehensive analysis tools. This work may guide researchers to use appropriate methods for developing pesticide-likeness models. It may also aid non-specialists to understand some important concepts in drug-likeness and pesticide-likeness.
