Why is it important?
The average cost of developing a new prescription drug varies from 0.8 to 5 billion US$, as per the latest statistics given by Tufts Center for the study of Drug Development and Forbes. Even with this staggering financial demand, a large percentage of the drugs produced are finally rejected in toxicity tests and in various phases of the clinical trials. There is only a 10% chance that a potent, safe drug will cross all the hurdles and reach the market. To be competitive and profitable in this high pressure scenario, pharmaceutical companies require improved strategies for anticipating and identifying crucial events in drug development as early as possible to reduce their costs.
Perspectives
Peptides have been proven to be an exciting area for research and development. Their role as mediators of key biological functions and their unique intrinsic properties make them particularly attractive therapeutic agents.
