Novel Drug Discovery: Advances, Strategies, and Future Perspectives

Abstract

Novel drug discovery is a cornerstone of modern medicine, aiming to develop new therapeutic agents that address unmet medical needs, improve patient outcomes, and combat drug-resistant diseases. This multifaceted process integrates disciplines such as medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology, and computational sciences to identify, design, and optimize lead compounds[1]. The present article explores the strategies, methodologies, and emerging technologies employed in novel drug discovery, including target identification, high-throughput screening, structure-based drug design, and artificial intelligence-driven approaches. Furthermore, it examines challenges in translating preclinical discoveries into clinically viable drugs, highlighting the importance of safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance. By providing a comprehensive overview, this article underscores the evolving landscape of drug discovery and its critical role in advancing healthcare.
