Improving and Accelerating Therapeutic Development for Nervous System Disorders is the summary of a workshop convened by the IOM Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders to examine opportunities to accelerate early phases of drug development for nervous system drug discovery. Workshop participants discussed challenges in neuroscience research for enabling faster entry of potential treatments into first-in-human trials, explored how new and emerging tools and technologies may improve the efficiency of research, and considered mechanisms to facilitate a more effective and efficient development pipeline. There are several challenges to the current drug development pipeline for nervous system disorders. The fundamental etiology and pathophysiology of many nervous system disorders are unknown and the brain is inaccessible to study, making it difficult to develop accurate models. Patient heterogeneity is high, disease pathology can occur years to decades before becoming clinically apparent, and diagnostic and treatment biomarkers are lacking. In addition, the lack of validated targets, limitations related to the predictive validity of animal models - the extent to which the model predicts clinical efficacy - and regulatory barriers can also impede translation and drug development for nervous system disorders. Improving and Accelerating Therapeutic Development for Nervous System Disorders identifies avenues for moving directly from cellular models to human trials, minimizing the need for animal models to test efficacy, and discusses the potential benefits and risks of such an approach. This report is a timely discussion of opportunities to improve early drug development with a focus toward preclinical trials.

The process of drug discovery and development is a complex multistage logistics project spanned over 10-15 years with an average budget exceeding 1 billion USD. Starting with target identification and synthesizing anywhere between 10k to 15k synthetic compounds to potentially obtain the final drug that reaches the market involves a complicated maze with multiple inter- and intra-operative fields. Topics described in this book emphasize the progresses in computational applications, pharmacokinetics advances, and molecular modeling developments. In addition the book also contains special topics describing target deorphaning in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, therapy treatment of some rare diseases, and developments in the pediatric drug discovery process.

Drug repurposing (or drug repositioning) is defined as the process of identifying new pharmacological indications of old, existing, investigational, or FDA-approved drugs for use in the treatment of diseases other than the drugs’ original intended therapeutic use. Drug Repurposing - Advances, Scopes and Opportunities in Drug Discovery delivers up-to-date information on the identification of newer uses, molecular mechanisms, and novel targets of existing drug candidates through the application of various experimental, biophysical, and computational approaches and techniques. Chapters discuss recent advances in drug repurposing strategies that are currently being used in the discovery and development of drugs against difficult-to-treat, rare, and life-threatening diseases, including microbial infections, COVID-19, parasitic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and cancer. The book also discusses the modern experimental assays (HTS) and computational techniques including informatics and databases, molecular docking and dynamics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, virtual screening and pharmacophore modeling, proteomics and metabolomics, and network pharmacology and systems biology approaches. Some of the key features of the book are: • Presents the strategies available for the development of drugs by drug repurposing approaches through various experimental and computational techniques for the treatment of difficult-to-treat, rare, and deadly diseases • Summarizes the latest advances in the application of drug repurposing strategies, techniques, and approaches in the discovery and development of drugs • Depicts drug development approaches from existing drug candidates and/or lead molecules through modern experimental assays, biophysical tools, and computational techniques Written by a global team of experts, this book is useful for drug discovery scientists, drug developers, medicinal chemists, phytochemists, pharmacologists, clinicians, biochemists, biomedical scientists, healthcare professionals, researchers, teaching faculty, and students.

This authoritative volume provides a contemporary view on the latest research in molecules with optimal drug-like properties. It is a valuable source to access current best practices as well as new research techniques and strategies. Written by leading scientists in their fields, the text consists of fourteen chapters with an underlying theme of early collaborative opportunities between pharmaceutical and discovery sciences. The book explores the practical realities of performing physical pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical research in the context of drug discovery with short timelines and low compound availability. Chapters cover strategies and tactics to enable discovery as well as predictive approaches to establish, understand and communicate risks in early development. It also examines the detection, characterization, and assessment of risks on the solid state properties of advanced discovery and early development candidates, highlighting the link between solid state properties and critical development parameters such as solubility and stability. Final chapters center on techniques to improve molecular solubilization and prevent precipitation, with particularly emphasis on linking physiochemical properties of molecules to formulation selection in preclinical and clinical settings.
