Study Notes

Drug Discovery Process

Isolation and purification is the final step in the process
Choosing a disease is the initial step in the process
Structure determination is a part of the process

Reverse Pharmacology

Reverse pharmacology is a method of drug discovery

Traditional Sources of Medications

Traditional sources of new candidate medications include natural products, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms, and synthesis of new compounds based on existing medications

Historical Method of Drug Discovery

The historical method of drug discovery is based on serendipity, where a compound is tested for a particular disease, and if it shows a positive effect, it is further developed and optimized

High Throughput Screening

High throughput screening is a method used in modern drug discovery to rapidly test a large number of compounds for their potential as medications

Impact of Human Genome Sequencing

The sequencing of the human genome has impacted drug discovery by providing a better understanding of the genetic basis of diseases, allowing for the development of more targeted and effective medications
