2.
Drug is a chemical substance that have some kind of
physiological or biochemical effect on our body.
Drug design’ or ‘tailor-made compound’ aims at
developing a drug with high degree of
chemotherapeutic index and specific action.
Drug & Drug design
3. Various processes by which the drugs usually produce
their pharmacological effects.
How the drugs specifically react with the protoplasm to
elicit a Particular Pharmacological response.
How the drugs usually get modified or metabolized or
Neliminated by the organism.
Probablee relationship between biological activities with
chemical structure.
Drug design seeks to explain:
5.
Analogue- drugs having same activity but from
different origin.
Uses
• Modification in carbon skeletal
• Substitute synthesis
Analogue
6.
Pro-drug- Inactive compounds which are converted to
active compounds in
the body.
Uses:
• Improving membrane permeability
• Prolonging activity
• Masking toxicity and side effects
• Varying water solubility
• Drug targeting
• Improving chemical stability
Pro-drug
7.
Shortly it is drug modification
Steps:
• Pre-clinical studies
• Clinical studies
phase 1
phase 2
phase 3
phase 4
Drug development
8. Pre-clinical studies
Identify disease
Isolate protein
Find drug
Preclinical testing
GENOMICS, PROTEOMICS & BIOPHARM.
HIGH THROUGHPUT SCREENING
MOLECULAR MODELING
VIRTUAL SCREENING
COMBINATORIAL CHEMISTRY
IN VITRO & IN SILICO ADME MODELS
Potentially producing many more targets
and “personalized” targets
Screening up to 100,000 compounds a
day for activity against a target protein
Using a computer to
predict activity
Rapidly producing vast numbers
of compounds
Computer graphics & models help improve activity
Tissue and computer models begin to replace animal testing
9. Clinical trials
Identify disease
Isolate protein
involved in
disease (2-5 years)
Find a drug effective
against disease protein
(2-5 years)
Preclinical testing
(1-3 years)
Formulation
Human clinical trials
(2-10 years)
Scale-up
FDA approval
(2-3 years)
10.
Nature has made all the provisions for curing a
disease or disorder.
The findings of the human genome project has
added more understanding to the target
identification.
New safer drugs.
Less side effects.
More bio-availability.
Faster onset of action.
