What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Stage 1: Identify disorder to treat: Decisions include feasibility and profitability concerns. Stage 2: Drug synthesis: Chemists synthesize experimental compounds. Stage 3: Biological experimentation: High-throughput screening methods provide basic biological information about compounds. Results are sent to chemists and guide synthesis of further compounds. Stage 4: Focused screening methods: Focused testing occurs with most promising compounds identified during Stage 3. Stage 5: Safety pharmacology: Tests identify adverse effects and toxic doses. Stage 6: Clinical trials: Most effective and safest compounds tested from previous stages are tested in humans: Regularly approval sought after positive clinical findings.
