Medicinal Chemistry: A Rapidly Growing Discipline

Medicinal Chemistry explains the relation of structure and functions of the molecules, which consist of the basis of life. The fusion of pharmaceuticals and the application of chemical research techniques encompass the field of Medicinal Chemistry.

In the early stage of this field, the scientists focused on isolating the medicinal agents found in plants. In the modern era, Medicinal Chemistry scientists are creating new synthetic drug compounds. The field evolves continuously and is stepping forward, every day, regarding drug discovery and its development.

Drug discovery and development is a long procedure, which involves physical, mental efforts and financial assets. The cost of this intricate process has reached $800 million, for transfiguring a new promising compound into a drug, and launching it in the market. The estimated time consumption of this discovery and launching, takes up to 15 years. The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies should consider reducing the cost and drug development period. This will help the humanity in numerous ways because when the drug development takes less time and cost less, the persistent problems of the world will be easy to solve.
