Pharmacology In Drug: Discovery And Development
Often described as "what the body does to the drug." It tracks the drug's journey through bsorption into the bloodstream, istribution to tissues, etabolism (often in the liver), and xcretion from the body. Pharmacodynamics (PD):
How does the drug leave? Primarily via urine (kidneys) or feces (bile). In drug development, a compound that accumulates in fatty tissue (high volume of distribution) may take weeks to clear, raising safety concerns. pharmacology in drug discovery and development
Once a chemical “hit” is found, pharmacology drives refinement. Often described as "what the body does to the drug
modeling to predict drug effects in biological systems. This helps translate laboratory results from animal models and, eventually, to humans. Critical Role in Drug Development Drug Discovery and Development Process - PPD istribution to tissues
