Abstract

Drug Discovery

Highlights

Pharmaceutical scientists are a group of professionals who engage in drug discovery
This process of drug discovery requires initial coordination between scientists working in biology, chemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, physics, process engineering, and toxicology to identify substances for further testing
Formulation scientists are tasked in establishing the optimal dosage form for delivering the drug to its biological target

Summary

Introduction

This process of drug discovery requires initial coordination between scientists working in biology, chemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, physics, process engineering, and toxicology to identify substances for further testing. The initial stage includes studies performed in vitro, cell culture, and in experimental animals.
