Abstract	The traditional pharmaceutical discovery process is notoriously resource-intensive, often generating significant chemical waste and consuming vast amounts of energy. This review explores the integration of homology modelling and computer aided drug design (CADD) as transformative "green" methodologies that align with the core principles of sustainability. By utilizing in silico protein structure prediction and virtual ligand screening, researchers can avoid the heavy environmental footprint of high-throughput experimental screening. These digital workflows minimize the use of hazardous solvents, reduce "wet-lab" trial-and-error, and optimize atom economy through predictive toxicology (ADMET). Ultimately, the synergy between computational precision and green chemistry provides a road-map for an environmentally responsible pharmaceutical industry that prioritizes waste prevention without compromising therapeutic innovation.
