Pathways in Drug Discovery and Development: From Molecular Targets to Market Approval
Abstract: A complicated, multidisciplinary, and resource-intensive process, the discovery and development of new pharmacological drugs is essential to the advancement of contemporary medicine. Finding and optimising lead chemicals comes after a disease-relevant biological target has been identified and validated. Through preclinical research in animal models, these leads are thoroughly assessed for toxicity, pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy. Clinical trials, which are carried out in several stages to evaluate safety, efficacy, ideal dosage, …
