Drug design, often referred to as rational drug design or simply rational design, is the inventive process of finding new medications based on the knowledge of a biological target. [1]

Drug design is the inventive process of finding new medications based on the knowledge of a biological target. In the most basic sense, drug design involves the design of molecules that are complementary in shape and charge to the molecular target with which they interact and bind.

2022年2月23日 · Now, drug design is the most advanced approach for drug discovery. It utilizes the innovations in science and technology and includes them in its wide-ranging arsenal of methods and tools in order to achieve the main goal: discovery of effective, specific, non-toxic, safe and well-tolerated drugs.

2024年9月26日 · The cost of bringing a medical product to the U.S. market has been increasing and clinical trials constitute a large portion of these costs. In drug development, the clinical phase lasts an average of around 95 months compared to 31 months for the non-clinical phase and accounts for 69 percent of overall R&D costs (DiMasi, et al., 2016). Clinical trials contribute …

This chapter is a general introduction on rational drug design. Basic concepts such as the lock-and-key and induced fit models are presented. Important approaches such as receptor-based and pharmacophore -based drug design are introduced.

If studies indicate that the drug is sufficiently effective and safe, a new drug application (NDA)—including data from the animal and human tests, intended drug manufacturing procedures, prescribing information, and product labeling—is filed with the FDA, which reviews all the information and decides whether the drug is sufficiently effective and safe to be marketed.
