Drug Journey
Drug Journey
Thesis:
The process of drugs in pharmaceuticals is actually a very long one. There are several different stages that a company undertakes in order to get their drug to the doctors, pharmacists and patients. We will look at this process over the next few minutes.
Introduction:
As a Chemistry major I’m passionate to study on drugs and would like to involve in pharmaceuticals. I’m also inspired from my family where my brothers-in-law are pharmacist and besides I love chemistry since my high school. People all over the world are taking drugs for certain to millions of reasons which lead number of drugs to billions. Drugs are served as pills or syrup as well as injectors. Most of the people in the world are taking drugs as a pill but they never feel it takes 15 to 20 years to reach their hands. In other words, it takes twenty years a drug from discoveries to come into the market. The answer for this many years to be safety for the people and during drugs are tested and designed and also modified for less harmful and more effective.
1. Main Point:
Drug Discovery is a very few first steps in its journey to the market.
A. Drug discovery is a process in medicine and pharmacology where a drug is discovered and designed. In the past drug discovery was very different to the current form, previously active ingredients were used to tackle illnesses. Nowadays more detailed research on diseases has been pursued, details such as what the genes are coding or what protein is involved, therefore are allowing the designing of drugs to target specific sites to act on the disease. Most of the drugs came from nature even now a day, lead compounds are found in nature, which later are sent for development. Professor Silverman mentions in his book, ‘The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action’ that, ‘Greater than 60% of the anticancer and anti-effective agents that are on the
