Small Molecules Evolve

Drug Hunter

Small molecule drugs make up most of the drugs we take conveniently as pills, including painkillers like ibuprofen (Advil), antibiotics like penicillin and amoxicillin, or cholesterol-lowering drugs like atorvastatin (Lipitor). The small molecules drugs of today look nothing like the molecules of the 1970s.

The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

As our understanding of the underlying biology of disease grows more sophisticated, emerging therapies operate on increasingly complex biopathological systems and mechanisms. A surrogate endpoint is a marker used in clinical trials as a substitute for a direct clinical outcome. There are several types of biomarkers to consider.
