Sumario:Abstract Homophymines A–E and A1–E1 are bioactive natural cyclodepsipeptides with a complex molecular architecture. These molecules could have a potential use as antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer substances. We have carried out a computational study of the properties of this family of marine peptides using a CDFT‐based Computational Peptidology (CDFT‐CP) methodology that results from the combination of the chemical reactivity descriptors that arise from conceptual Density Functional Theory (CDFT) together with cheminformatics tools. The latter can be used to estimate the associated physicochemical parameters and to improve the process of virtual screening through a similarity search. Using this approach, the ability of the peptides to behave as a potentially useful drugs can be investigated. An analysis of their bioactivity and pharmacokinetics indices related to the ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity) features has also been carried out.
