Drug Discovery: Overview

Drug Discovery: Overview

Drug discovery is a multifaceted process involving extensive screening, testing, and optimization of lead compounds to identify potential new drugs for therapeutic use. It combines several approaches, including screening large numbers of natural products, chemical modification of known active molecules, identification of new drug targets, and rational design based on biological mechanisms and drug-receptor structure. These approaches are carried out in both academic research laboratories and...

Background:

High throughput screening (HTS) has accelerated drug discovery.
Increased screening volumes lead to higher costs and data demands.
Ensuring compound selectivity and specificity remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce high throughput profiling (HTP) as a solution to HTS limitations.
To detail how HTP addresses compound selectivity and specificity.
To highlight HTP's role in improving drug candidate evaluation.

Main Methods:

Integration of conventional screening techniques.
