Historically, researchers have looked to natural compounds from plants, fungi or marine animals to provide the basis for these candidate drugs but, increasingly, scientists are using knowledge gained from the study of genetics and proteins to create new molecules using computers.
As many as 10, compounds may be considered and whittled down to just 10 to 20 that could theoretically interfere with the disease process. The next stage is to confirm that these molecules have an effect and that they are safe. Before any molecules are given to humans, safety and efficacy tests are conducted using computerised models, cells and animals. Around half of candidates make it through this pre-clinical testing stage and these five to 10 remaining compounds are now ready to be tested in humans for the first time.
The company will put in a clinical trial application CTA , which will be reviewed by medical and scientific experts, who will decide whether or not sufficient preliminary research has been conducted to allow testing in humans to go ahead.
The approval of two molecules, morphine and aspirin, pre-dated the creation of the FDA and its precursors. Number of different companies that have gained approval for at least one new molecular entity NME. As organisations merge or are acquired, the numbers may decrease.
If a CTA application is granted, the safety and pharmacology of a candidate drug will be tested first in a small group of healthy volunteers in a phase 1 trial. Small doses of the compound will be administered to a group of 20 to healthy volunteers who are closely supervised.
At least half of compounds will usually be considered safe enough to progress to phase 2 trials. For example, aspirin acetylsalicylic acid was discovered from the willow tree, the bark of which was used in traditional herbal remedies [].
When a natural source is not readily available, chemistry often steps in to provide practical alternatives. In the early s, the Pacific yew tree Taxus brevifolia was found to produce the blockbuster anticancer drug paclitaxel Taxol []. Initially, Pacific yew populations declined because the harvesting process stripped the bark and killed the trees.
Public outcry against this method led to an improved process that generated paclitaxel by isolating part of the molecule from European yew needles, which was then chemically modified to produce the complete drug. Currently, paclitaxel is produced by isolating plant cells from twigs and needles and growing the cells in a process called plant cell fermentation; this process is more sustainable because it spares trees and reduces chemical waste [].
The first step in modern drug discovery typically involves a process called high-throughput screening, where thousands of molecules are tested at once for their efficacy against a certain drug target []. In this technology, researchers use robots to mix miniscule amounts of potential drugs with tiny samples of the drug target. The collection of test molecules can include both man-made molecules and natural products.
Through the screening process, a molecule may show potential as a drug by binding to the target biomolecule i. An effective molecule identified this way is then elaborated into a potential drug through further screening with variants of the first molecule. If the drug proves to be effective in laboratory studies, the next step is a clinical trial.
Because the human body is more complex than a cell in the laboratory, a drug must be studied in a small population of patients before the US Food and Drug Administration FDA approves the drug for release to the general population. Though these metrics are not requirements, they can approximate how the drug behaves in the body e.
In clinical trials, the drug is primarily assessed for how effectively it treats the disease it is designed to target and whether it is safe for use by patients. Occasionally, the intended purpose of a drug is not its most effective function.
