Utility of Synthetic, Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry in Drug Design

Prakash Prajapat

Drug design is a creative act of the same magnitude as composing, sculpting, or writing. The results can touch the lives of millions and bring dollars of millions. Drug design, sometimes 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. Similarly, drug development is the process of bringing a new pharmaceutical drug to the market once a lead compound has been identified through the process of drug discovery. It includes pre-clinical research (microorganisms/animals) and clinical trials (on humans) and may include the step of obtaining regulatory approval to market the drug. This review helps in the development of newer molecules for future drug discovery.
