Lifecycle of a Drug: in silico→in vitro→in vivo→ in humano is made up term by Eric.
To sell drugs on the market, you must obtain a marketing authorization application
(MAA).
For MAA/NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement), the products must fulfill the following criteria:
● Safe→ establish a safety profile of the product in Preclinical Phase, which is
predictive for human use. To ascertain safety, you do that in Phase 1.
● Efficacious→ whether or not something works, is disease indication
dependant.
○ Example: Thalidomide has efficacy in rheumatoid artritis and oncology. But is
on the market under a different name and different indication. Other example:
Viagra.
● Clean and reproducible manufacturing.
Drug development process is:
● Complex: many laws and regulations, many disciplines/departments involved,
technical.
● Expensive
● Full of risks
