目前在英国,一个合格药物的产生平均需要10～12年的冒险,在这过程中失败率很高。这事实促使工业更严密地考虑如何才能完成它的研究与开发。但往往较多地集中在研究方面;较少地注意其开发方面——从化学转变为制造药品。事实上,从研究开始直到成为市场商品,两方面的工作要占所消逝时间之半,所以药物开发应是目前的主题。药物开发的实用典范(Functional Pattern) 图1.分析化学处于中央,车轮表示新药在开发过程中其它有效部分与分析化学之 Currently in the UK, an eligible drug takes an average of 10-12 years of adventures, with a high failure rate in the process. This fact has prompted industry to think more closely about how it can accomplish its research and development. But tend to focus more on research and less on their development - from chemistry to medicine. In fact, from the beginning of the study until it becomes a market commodity, the work on both ends needs to account for half of the elapsed time, so drug development should be the current theme.
