Study Notes
Drug Discovery Process
- The first step in drug discovery is identifying a potential therapeutic target, typically a protein or gene that is associated with a particular disease or condition.
Key Contributors
- Key contributors in drug discovery include biologists, chemists, pharmacologists, and clinicians who work together to identify and develop new therapeutic agents.
New Drug Approval
- The last step in new drug approval is post-marketing surveillance, which involves monitoring the safety and efficacy of a drug after it has been approved and marketed.
Gathering Information
- After a potential new drug substance is discovered, information must be gathered on its pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology, including its mechanism of action, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
Participants in Drug Discovery and Development
- Participants in drug discovery and development include academic researchers, biotech companies, pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, and contract research organizations.
