Unlocking Undruggable Targets: Shifting Paradigms in Modern Drug Discovery

DrugBank

This method was more about serendipity than science. But as molecular biology has advanced, so too has our approach to finding new drugs. In the early 20th century, the discovery process was largely random , focused on cytotoxic agents that kill cells by disrupting key cellular functions like DNA replication.
