Abstract

IDrug design and development is a very complicated, time consuming process and there are many factors responsible for the failure of different drugs such as lack of effectiveness, side effects, poor pharmacokinetics, and marketable reasons. “Drug discovery” has historically been a stronghold of chemistry, especially natural products chemistry and synthetic organic chemistry. Chemistry is thus inherently playing a major impact on drug discovery, since other disciplines cannot create novel small molecules. In other words, “drug discovery and development” cannot happen without chemists.
