DISSERTATION on NEW DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF DRUG DISCOVERYNEHA GUPTA
The process of drug discovery and development is a complex and multi-step endeavor aimed at bringing new pharmaceutical drugs to market. It begins with identifying and validating a biological target, such as a protein, gene, or RNA, that is associated with a disease. This step involves understanding the target's role in the disease and confirming that modulating it can have therapeutic effects. The next stage, hit identification, employs high-throughput screening (HTS) and other methods to find compounds that interact with the target. Computational techniques may also be used to identify potential hits from large compound libraries.
Following hit identification, the hits are optimized to improve their efficacy, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties, resulting in lead compounds. These leads undergo further refinement to enhance their potency, reduce toxicity, and improve drug-like characteristics, creating drug candidates suitable for preclinical testing. In the preclinical development phase, drug candidates are tested in vitro (in cell cultures) and in vivo (in animal models) to evaluate their safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Toxicology studies are conducted to assess potential risks.
Before clinical trials can begin, an Investigational New Drug (IND) application must be submitted to regulatory authorities. This application includes data from preclinical studies and plans for clinical trials. Clinical development involves human trials in three phases: Phase I tests the drug's safety and dosage in a small group of healthy volunteers, Phase II assesses the drug's efficacy and side effects in a larger group of patients with the target disease, and Phase III confirms the drug's efficacy and monitors adverse reactions in a large population, often compared to existing treatments.
After successful clinical trials, a New Drug Application (NDA) is submitted to regulatory authorities for approval, including all data from preclinical and clinical studies, as well as proposed labeling and manufacturing information. Regulatory authorities then review the NDA to ensure the drug is safe, effective, and of high quality, potentially requiring additional studies. Finally, after a drug is approved and marketed, it undergoes post-marketing surveillance, which includes continuous monitoring for long-term safety and effectiveness, pharmacovigilance, and reporting of any adverse effects.
2. • Solids can be classified in to Crystals and amorphous based on their structural organisation
of particles in them.
• A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituent atoms, molecules,
or ions are arranged in an ordered pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.

• There are 219 possible crystal symmetries,
called crystallographic space groups. These are
grouped into 7 crystal systems.
• Crystals are commonly recognized by their shape,
consisting of flat faces with sharp angles.
3. Properties of Crystal lattice
• In the crystal lattice, each point represents constituent particles (ion or atom or
molecule) and is called as lattice point. These points joined by line to form a whole
crystal lattice.
• The arrangement of lattice points in a crystal lattice gives the geometry to a crystal
lattice. Crystal lattice can be of two types,
1.Two dimensional lattices
2.Three dimensional lattices
2D-LATTICE 3D-LATTICE
4. Unit Cell
• Each smallest unit of the complete space lattice or crystal
lattice, which is repeated in different direction to form a
complete crystal lattice structure is called a unit cell.
• It is just like a thick wall made up of regularly arranged bricks.
Here the thick wall is the crystal lattice and each brick is a unit
cell.
• A unit cell can be explained by using certain parameters.
These parameters are as follows.
• The edge of the unit cell represented by a, b and c. It is
dimensions along the three edges.
• The angle between the edges are represented by α, β and γ.
• The angle between edge b and c is α , the angle between
edge a and c is β, while γ is the angle between edges a and b.
• Thus there are a total of six parameters; a , b , c and α, β and
γ.
10. CRYSTAL PLANES
• Crystal planes come from the structures known as crystal lattices.
• These lattices are three dimensional patterns that consist of symmetrically
organized atoms intersecting three sets of parallel planes.
• These parallel planes are "crystal planes" and are used to determine the shape and
structure of the unit cell and crystal lattice.
• The planes intersect with each other and make 3D shapes that have six faces.
• These crystal planes define the crystal structure by making axes visible and are
the means by which we can calculate the Miller Indices.
13. MILLER INDICES
How do we express Planes and Directions in Crystals ?
• Miller Indices are a method of describing the orientation of a plane or set of planes within
a lattice in relation to the unit cell. They were developed by William Hallowes Miller.
• Lattice planes are defined in terms of the Miller indices, which are defined as the
reciprocals of the intercepts of the planes on the coordinate axes cleared of fractions.
• hkl and uvw are called indices. They will be numbers that are related to coordinate
systems.
• No commas between the numbers.
h represents the plane perpendicular to the x-axis;
k represents the plane perpendicular to the y-axis;
l represents the plane perpendicular to the z-axis.
u represents the vector parallel to the x-axis;
v represents the vector parallel to the y-axis;
w represents the vector parallel to the z-axis.
• Negative values are expressed with a bar over the number
For example : ത3
15. A bit of History
William Roentgen discovered X-rays in 1895 and
determined they had the following properties
Travel in straight lines
Are exponentially absorbed in matter with the exponent
proportional to the mass of the absorbing material
Darken photographic plates
Make shadows of absorbing material on photosensitive
paper
Roentgen was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1901
Debate over the wave vs. particle nature of X-rays led
the development of relativity and quantum mechanics
19. The photoelectric effect is
responsible for generation
of characteristic x-rays.
Qualitatively here’s what is
happening:
An incoming high-energy
photoelectron disloges a k-
shell electron in the target,
leaving a vacancy in the
shell
An outer shell electron then
“jumps” to fill the vacancy
A characteristic x-ray
(equivalent to the energy
change in the “jump”) is
generated

particularly metal alloys (Poor resolution of
large d-spacings; optimal kV exceeds
capabilities of most HV power supplies.)

22. Diffraction is result of radiation’s being scattered by a regular array of scattering centers
whose spacing is about same as the of the radiation.
24. Discovery of Diffraction
Max von Laue theorized that if X-rays were waves, the
wavelengths must be extremely small (on the order of 10-10
meters)
If true, the regular structure of crystalline materials should
be “viewable” using X-rays
His experiment used an X-ray source directed into a lead box
containing an oriented crystal with a photographic plate
behind the box
Von Laue’s results were published in 1912
The image created showed:
1.The lattice of the crystal
produced a series of regular
spots from concentration of the
x-ray intensity as it passed
through the crystal and
2.Demonstrated the wave
character of the x-rays
3.Proved that x-rays could be
diffracted by crystalline materials
25. Bragg’s “Extensions” of Diffraction
Lawrence Bragg and his father W.H. Bragg discovered that diffraction could be treated as
reflection from evenly spaced planes if monochromatic x-radiation was used.
n X-ray incident upon a sample will either be transmitted, in which case it will continue
along its original direction, or it will be scattered by the electrons of the atoms in the
material. All the atoms in the path of the X-ray beam scatter X-rays.
We are primarily interested in the peaks formed when scattered X-rays
constructively.interfere. Bragg’s Law: n = 2d sin
where n is an integer
is the wavelength of the X-radiation
d is the interplanar spacing in the crystalline material and
is the diffraction angle
The Bragg Law makes X-ray powder diffraction possible
In X-ray crystallography, d-spacings and X-ray wavelengths are commonly given in
angstroms
31. Laue Method (Flat Plate Camera)
The Laue method is mainly used to determine the
orientation of large single crystals while radiation is
reflected from, or transmitted through a fixed crystal.
• The diffracted beams form arrays of spots, that lie on curves on the film.
• The Bragg angle is fixed
for every set of planes in the crystal. Each set of planes picks out &
diffracts the particular wavelength from the white radiation that satisfies
the Bragg law for the values of d & θ involved.
34. In the rotating crystal method, a single crystal is mounted with an axis
normal to a monochromatic x-ray beam. A cylindrical film is placed around
it & the crystal is rotated about the chosen axis.
As the crystal rotates, Sets of lattice planes will at some point make the
correct Bragg angle for the monochromatic incident beam, & at that point a
diffracted beam will be formed.
The Lattice constant of the crystal can be determined with this method. For
a given wavelength λ if the angle θ at which a reflection occurs is known, d
can be determined by using Bragg’s Law.

35. The reflected beams are located on the surfaces of imaginary cones. By recording the diffraction
patterns (both angles & intensities) for various crystal orientations, one can determine the shape & size of
unit cell as well as the arrangement of atoms inside the cell.
Rotating Crystal Method
36. If a powdered crystal is used instead of a single crystal, then there is no need to rotate it,
because there will always be some small crystals at an orientation for which diffraction is
permitted. Here a monochromatic X-ray beam is incident on a powdered or polycrystalline
sample.
Useful for samples that are difficult to obtain in single crystal form.
The powder method is used to determine the lattice parameters accurately. Lattice
parameters are the magnitudes of the primitive vectors a, b and c which define the unit
cell for the crystal.
For every set of crystal planes, by chance, one or more crystals will be in the correct
orientation to give the correct Bragg angle to satisfy Bragg's equation. Every crystal plane is
thus capable of diffraction.
Each diffraction line is made up of a large number of small spots, each from a separate
crystal. Each spot is so small as to give the appearance of a continuous line.
The Powder Method
39. A small amount of powdered material is sealed into a fine capillary
tube made from glass that does not diffract X-Rays.
The sample is placed in the Debye Scherrer camera and is
accurately aligned to be in the center of the camera. X-Rays
enter the camera through a collimator.
Debye Scherer Camera
41. Note: XRD is a nondestructive technique!
Some uses of XRD include:
Distinguishing between crystalline & amorphous materials.
Determination of the structure of crystalline materials and polymers.
Determination of electron distribution within the atoms, & throughout the
unit cell.
Determination of the orientation of single crystals.
Determination of the texture of polygrained materials.
Measurement of strain and small grain size…..etc.
Determination of the degree of crystallinity of the polymer
Determination of annealing in metals
Determination of particle size.
Determination of Cis-Trans Isomerism
Determination of Linkage Isomerism
Applications of XRD
42. Relationship between crystalline structure and X-ray
data: peak positions, intensities and widths
PEAK POSITION:
The positions of the peaks gives us information that can be used to determine the cell
parameters.
Using Bragg's Law, the peak positions can be theoretically calculated.
For a cubic unit cell:
43. PEAK INTENSITY:
The intensities of the peaks gives us information about the chemical elements
that are present in the crystal, including their locations in the unit cell.
PEAK WIDTH:
The peak width β in radians is inversely proportional to the crystallite size L
perpendicular to h k l plane. Whilst small crystals are the most common cause of
line broadening but other defects can also cause peak widths to increase.
44. XRD OF POLYMERS
• Polymers come in many forms. They can be crystalline, microcrystalline
or amorphous.
• In a single polymer, you often find all three forms depending on how the
polymer was made and processed, frequently, forms are mixed in a
single sample.
• Polymers, like other crystalline solids, can also have polymorphs,
polytypes, and all types of solid state molecular arrangements.
56. Advantages
X-Rays are the least expensive, the most convenient & the most widely used method to
determine crystal structures.
X-Rays are not absorbed very much by air, so the sample need not be in an evacuated
chamber.
Disadvantages
X-Rays do not interact very strongly with lighter elements.
