THE PROCESS
THE PROCESS
In broader sense drug discovery and development can be defined
• “A process that starts with the identification of disease and therapeutic
target of interest and include methodology, assay development ,lead
identification and characterization in vitro ,formulation and animal
pharmacological studies ,pharmacokinetics and safety studies in animals
and clinical studies in the human .”Different stages include
Basic research
Feasibility studies
Programme
Non-Clinical development
Clinical Development
DRUG Drug Discovery &
DISCOVERY
Development-Timeline
PRECLINICAL
Proteomics
•Human Genome consists of a sequence of around 3
billion nucleotides (the A C G T bases) which in turn
probably encode 35,000 – 50,000 genes.

High
Throughput
Screening
• It is to follow when chance is very less. It has been the historically the most successful way of
discovering the drugs. E.g discovery of lavemisol,Vaproic acid.
Endogenous Source:
• Human disease arises from disturbance of the normal biochemical processes. A logical
therapeutic approach is the administration of one or more of these naturally occurring
endogenous molecules or their analougues.The most important approach under this source is
Peptidomimetic Chemistry using non-peptides to mimic endogenous peptide activity.
• The molecules which are endogenous to the other life form such as plants and animals but do
not occur naturally within human body ,such molecules are classed as exogenous molecule for
prospective of drug designing for human beings
Rational Drug Design
• Approximately 2000 small molecules that theoretically exist in our world out of which
1052 are drug like molecules and many of which are purely synthetic and cannot occur
naturally. Thus there is an opportunity to explore the none naturally occurring synthetic
compounds as potential source of lead compound

• It’s a discipline at the intersection of synthetic organic chemistry and
Library pharmacology.

humans. The work falls into four categories
Ex-Vivo Studies

• Example:
Studies
• Despair based- Forced swimming/ Tail suspension
Functional • Reward based
Imaging
• Anxiety Based
Ex-Vivo Studies
Ex-Vivo Studies
Phase-II
• Essential to get marketing approval from regulatory
authorities.
Phase-III
– Human Toxicity.
Phase-III
– Tolerated Dosage Range
Phase-IV – Pharma-cology/dynamics
• 50-300 Patients
Phase-I
• Controlled Single Blind Technique
– Safety
Phase-III
– Efficacy
• 250-1000 Patients.
• Concerned With:
Phase-III – Safety, Efficacy
– Package Insert
