DRUG DESIGNING
Drug designing involves study of effect of biologically active compound on the basic of molecular interaction in terms of molecular structure or its physicochemical property involved.
It is studied process by which drug produce effect, how they react with protoplasm to elicit particular pharmacological effect or response show they are modified or detoxified, metabolized or effect by organism thus, drug design involves either total innovation of lead or and optimization of already available lead.
Drugs find their way into therapeutics mainly by these routes;
Serendipity
Random screening
Extraction of active principle of natural sources
Modification of known Group
Selection & synthesis of soft drug
Drug latentation
Rational drug designing
