Study polypharmacology earlier in drug discovery, say researchers

01/06/21

Polypharmacology – the ability of a drug to affect more than one protein – should be studied early in the drug discovery pathway, and constantly monitored as the chemical structure is optimised in the design of the clinical candidate, leading researchers believe.
