Classical vs reverse pharmacology in drug discovery
@article{Takenaka2001ClassicalVR, title={Classical vs reverse pharmacology in drug discovery}, author={T. Takenaka}, journal={BJU International}, year={2001}, volume={88} }
The evolution of medical treatments has made remarkable strides thanks to advances in the technology used in drug discovery. In the early days of pharmacology, therapeutic drugs were created from derivatives of medicinal plants. This was the case for aspirin, which was derived from the bark of the willow tree. Some bene®cial drugs have been discovered incidentally during scienti®c research. These desirable accidental discoveries are referred to as drug serendipity. In the 1960s, advances in… CONTINUE READING
