Modern pharmacology is tackling this through . By using computational models and systems biology, pharmacologists now attempt to predict the complex network effects of a drug—how hitting one target might ripple through the body's entire physiological system.
: Researchers verify that manipulating the identified target directly addresses the disease pathology without damaging essential, healthy pathways. pharmacology in drug discovery and development
What the body does to the drug (ADME). Absorption: How it enters the bloodstream. Distribution: Where it goes in the body. Metabolism: How the body breaks it down. Excretion: How it leaves the system. Modern pharmacology is tackling this through
Understanding how the concentration of a drug correlates with the magnitude of the biological response. pharmacology in drug discovery and development
