HOW ARE NEW DRUGS DISCOVERED ?
Developing a new medicine begins with understanding the disease or condition as thoroughly as possible. Basic research provides clues about how to treat diseases and potential ways to target the symptoms or underlying causes.
Researchers work to understand biological targets of the drug they want to develop which can be protein, RNA, DNA, and other molecule that is relatedto the disease. The researcher work to discover a lead compound which is a promising molecule that could influence target and has a potential to be developed into a medicine.
