Lead optimization is the process by which a drug candidate is designed after an initial lead compound is identified. The process involves iterative rounds of synthesis and characterisation of a ...
As Dr. Bing Xia emphasized, hit identification is highly target-dependent and is not best approached as a fixed route. Strategy selection should begin with the target context, including biological ...
Lead optimization aims at enhancing the most promising compounds to improve effectiveness, diminish toxicity, or increase absorption. Many of the technologies for lead discovery overlap with lead ...
