Drug Discovery is a process of identifying the new chemical compound that behaves as a drug like molecule.But this is a very slow process and may take around 7-8 years and large amount of money.

Steps in Drug Discovery

  1. Identification of Target molecule
  2. Target validation
  3. Screening
  4. Lead optimization
  5. ADME and Toxiology
  6. Clinical Trials
