a) New insights into a disease process
b) Many tests of molecular compounds to find possible beneficial effects
against any of a large number of diseases. (Combinatorial chemistry)
c) Existing treatments that have surprising effects.
d) New technologies, to target specific sites or to manipulate genetic
material.
• At this stage in the process, thousands of compounds may be potential
candidates for development as a medical treatment after early testing,
• However, only a small number of compounds look promising and call for
further study.
