The process of finding and developing novel drugs is called drug discovery. Identifying potential drug targets, screening compounds for their influence on the target, optimizing the compound to increase its efficacy and safety, and testing the combination in preclinical and clinical studies to ascertain its safety and effectiveness in humans are all components.

Researchers are progressively investigating the potential of existing medications to treat novel illnesses. Drug discovery researchers can save time and money by adapting already-approved remedies for new use.
