MOLECULE LANDSCAPE SEARCH: A USEFUL APPROACH TO DRUG DISCOVERY

The drug discovery and development in the pharma sector is progressing beyond the traditional synthesis of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient/pharmaceuticals to save time and cost. This progression extends to doing research on a new molecule and prodrug including API; their synthesis following their commercialization with requisite updates.

Market analysis is a common practice within any industry. However, more in-depth analysis compared to market trends is essential to address the obvious and outstanding challenges. Stakeholders need to consider the following points before stepping up for the new drug discovery:

• Overcoming the limitations of raw material market fluctuation.
• Reducing competition and reasons for obtaining an approved status for an investigational drug.
• Identifying the gaps and limitations of existing drugs/pharmaceuticals and establish a rationale for new pharmaceutical molecule under investigation.
• Having an updated view of market impact scenario following the entry of a new drug in the sector to avoid infringement issues.
• Getting intellectual rights for developed molecule(s) to lead the sector.

This is where the ‘Molecule Landscape Search’ becomes pivotal in providing a comprehensive view of a drug molecule or prodrug for aforementioned purposes. This holistic analysis offers you:

– Directional research routes.

– Alternate synthetic schemes.

– Updates on the status of prior arts simplifying patent acquisition for newly developed molecule(s).

– Evaluation of cost and time in selecting the synthetic pathway.

Leveraging the Molecule Landscape Search, stakeholders can gain crucial insights and maintain a competitive edge in the pharmaceutical industry.

Molecule Landscape Search is particularly useful for mid to smaller pharma companies – mostly generic as these companies might not have as much resources or scientists. With Molecule Landscape Search, they can find new ways to develop drugs or new uses for drugs that already exist.
