DRUG
• A substance used in the diagnosis, treatment, or
prevention of a disease or as a component of a medication
recognized or defined by the U.S. Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act.
• A drug is any chemical or biological substance, synthetic
or non-synthetic
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics

• A drug is anything that affects the way an
organism works.
• Drugs can be taken to enhance function, such as
a student drinking caffeine to enhance alertness.
• For now we only consider drugs which are used
to cure a disease.

Continued
• A disease is often thought of as an infection,
where a bacteria, virus, or other living thing
invades the body.
• However, a disease is anything which affects the
proper functioning of the body.
• It can be an infection, a genetic disorder, or the
result of environmental conditions such as
malnourishment, poisoning, or stress.

Continued
• Engineers often find it easy to see the body
as a factory.
• Individual organs can be seen as machinery.
The actual nuts, bolts, screwdrivers, and
wrenches that make up all the machinery are
the equivalent of proteins, little chunks of
organic material that move things around in
the body and attach them together.
• Most of the work in our body is done by
proteins.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics

Continued
• The body contains thousands of different
kinds of proteins.
• The construction of each is determined by
the DNA in the nucleus of each cell.
• DNA may be thought of as long strings of
instructions which code for how each
protein is too be built.
• The DNA is just a long string of acids that
serves as a message about how to make
proteins.

How Drugs are Developed
• The processes of new drug discovery and
development are long, complicated and
dependent upon the expertise of a wide variety of
scientific, technical and managerial groups.
• If you are new to the industry, it can prove a
significant challenge to understand the
significance of your contribution, even if you
belong to one of the teams directly involved; for
those on the periphery, the problem is magnified
to the point where team interactions and
efficiency are adversely threatened.

Differences and Similarities of Drugs and
Medicinal Plants
• Today there are at least 120 distinct chemical substances
derived from plants that are considered important drug
and are currently in use in one or more countries in the
world
• Some of these drugs are simply a chemical or chemicals
extracted from plant materials and put into a capsule,
tablet or liquid.
• Eg. In Germany a Cynarin drug is manufactured and
sold to treat hypertension, liver disorders and highly
cholesterol levels.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
8
Differences and Similarities of Drugs
and Medicinal Plants
• The drug is simply this single chemical or an Artichoke liquid extract,
that has been concentrated and chemically manipulated to contain a
specific amount of this one chemical ; such a preparation is called a
standardized extract.
• However in the U.S artichoke extracts are available as natural products
and sold in health food stores as “dietary supplements”
• Some –U.S artichoke products are even standardized to contain a
specific amount of cynarin, yet they can still be purchased here as a
natural product without a prescription.
• There may be little to no difference between the Cynarin drug produce
in Germany and the artichoke standardized herbal supplements made
in the U.S considering that the same amount of Cynarin is being
delivered, dose for dose
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics

Need for consumer education about
Herbal supplements & Drugs
• Consumers find it very frustrating to sort through a lot of
ambiguous information put out by natural product
manufacturers who cannot legally label their goods with
condition-specific.
• Stop them in their tracks in the aisles at the health food
store saying “ Hey, look at me, if you have high
cholesterol.

More is Not Always Better
• Be careful about dosage amounts
• Philosophy of excess: “ if some is good, more is better”
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
11
Problem of One Vs Several Chemicals
• While many drugs have originated from biologically active
plant chemicals, and many plants, medicine uses can be
attributed to various active chemicals found in them, there
is a distinct difference between using a medicinal plant and
a chemical drug.
• The difference is one that scares most conventionally
trained doctors with no training in plants.
• Drugs usually consist of a single chemical, whereas
medicinal plants can contain 400 or more chemicals.
• It’s relatively easy to figure out the activity and side effects
of a single chemical.

The New Drug Development Process
(Steps from Test Tube to New Drug Application Review)
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
25
Non-clinical Drug Development
• Non-clinical drug development is a complex,
regulatory-driven process designed primarily to
assess the safety and viability of new molecular
entities.
• Non-clinical, or preclinical, services encompass
toxicology, pharmacology, metabolism,
bioanalysis, pharmaceutical analysis and
biosafety testing in support of non-clinical drug
development.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
26
Non-clinical Drug Development
• A sponsor must first submit data showing that the drug is reasonably
safe for use in initial, small-scale clinical studies.
• Depending on whether the compound has been studied or marketed
previously, the sponsor may have several options for fulfilling this
requirement.
1. Compiling existing non-clinical data from past in vitro
laboratory or animal studies on the compound
2. Compiling data from previous clinical testing or marketing of the
drug in the U.S or another country whose population is relevant to
the U.S population
3. Undertaking new preclinical studies designed to provide the
evidence necessary to support the safety of administering the
compound to humans.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
27
Non-clinical Drug Development
• During preclinical drug development, a sponsor
evaluates the drug’s toxic and pharmacologic effects
through in vitro and in vivo laboratory animal testing.
• Genotoxicity screening is performed, as well as
investigations on drug absorption and metabolism, the
toxicity of the drug’s metabolites and the speed with
which the drug and its metabolites are excreted from the
body.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
28
FDA will generally ask
1. Develop a pharmacological profile of the drug
2. Determine the acute toxicity of the drug in at
least two species of animals
3. Conduct short-term toxicity studies ranging
from 2 weeks to 3 months, depending on the
proposed duration of use of the substance in
the proposed clinical studies.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
29
Subpart E
• CFR (Code of Federal Regulations)
establishes procedure to expedite the
development, evaluation and marketing of
new therapies intended to treat people
with life-threatening and severelydebilitating illnesses, especially where no
satisfactory alternatives exist.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
30
Sponsor/FDA Meetings ( Pre-IND)
• Prior to clinical studies, the sponsor needs evidence that the
compound is biologically active, and both sponsor and the
FDA need data showing that the drug is reasonably safe for
initial administration to humans.
• Meeting at such an early stage in the process are useful
opportunities for open discussion about testing phases, data,
requirements, and any scientific issues that may need to be
resolved prior to IND submission
• At these meeting, the sponsor and FDA discuss and agree
upon the design of the animal studies needed to initiate
human testing
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
31
Synthesis and Purification
• The research process is complicated, time-consuming, and
costly and the end result is never guaranteed.
• Literally hundreds and sometimes thousands of chemical
compounds must be made and tested in an effort to find
one that can achieve a desirable result.
• FDA estimates that it takes approximately eight and half
years to study and test a new drug before it can be
approved for the general public.
• Computers can be used to simulate a chemical compound
and design chemical structures that might work against it.
• Enzymes attach to the correct site on a cell’s membrane,
which causes the disease.
• A computer can show scientists what the receptor site looks
like and how one might tailor a compound to block an

enzyme from attachingDept.
there.
Animal Testing
• Drug companies make every effort to use as few animals
as possible and to ensure their humane and proper care.
• Generally two or more species ( one rodent, one nonrodent).
• Animal testing is used to measure how much of a drug is
absorbed into the blood, how it is broken down
chemically in the body, the toxicity of the drug and its
breakdown products metabolites, and how quickly the
drug and its metabolites are excreted from the body
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
33
Short and Long Term Animal Testing
• Short-term testing in animals ranges in duration from 2
weeks to 3 months, depending on the proposed use of
the substance.
• Long-term testing in animals ranges in duration from a
few weeks to several years.
- Some animal testing continues after human tests begin
to learn whether long-term use of a drug may cause
cancer or birth defects.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
34
Institutional Review Board
• Institutional review boards (IRB) are used to ensure the rights
and welfare of people participating in clinical trials both
before and during their trial participation.
• An IRBs at hospitals and research institutions throughout the
country make sure that participants are fully informed and
have given their written consent before studies ever begin.
• An IRBs are monitored by the FDA to protect and ensure the
safety of participants in medical research.
• An IRBs must be composed of no less than five experts and
lay people with varying background to ensure a complete and
adequate review of activities commonly conducted by
research institutions.
• An IRBs must be composed of people whose concerns are in
relevant areas.

Phase 1 Clinical Studies
• Phase 1 includes the initial introduction of an
investigational new drug into human.
• Phase 1 studies usually conducted in healthy volunteer.
• Phase 1 studies are designed to determine the metabolic
and pharmacologic actions of the drug in humans, the side
effects associated with increasing doses, and if possible to
gain early evidence on effectiveness.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
42
Phase 1 Clinical Studies
• Phase 1 studies also evaluate drug metabolism,
structure-activity relationships, and the
mechanism of action in humans.
• The total number of subjects included in Phase I
studies varies with the drug, but is generally in
the range of 20 to 80
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
43
Phase 2 Clinical Studies
• Phase 2 includes the early controlled clinical studies
conducted to obtain some preliminary data on the
effectiveness of the drug for a particular indication or
indications in patients with the disease or condition.
• This phase of testing also helps determine the common
short-term side effects and risks associated with the
drug.
• Phase 2 studies are typically well-controlled, closely
monitored, and conducted in a relatively small number of
patients usually involving several hundred people.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
44
Sponsor/FDA Meeting (End of Phase 2)
• One month prior to the “end of the Phase 2”, the sponsor
should submit the background information and protocols
for phase 3 studies.
• This information should include data supporting the claim
of the new drug product, chemistry data, animal data and
proposed additional animal data, results of Phase 1 and 2
studies, statistical methods being used, specific protocols
for phase 3 studies, as well as a copy of the proposed
labeling for a drug, if available.
• This summary provides the review team with information
needed to prepare for a productive meeting.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
45
Phase 3 Clinical Studies
• Phase 3 studies are expanded controlled and
uncontrolled trials.
• They are performed after preliminary evidence
suggesting effectiveness of the drug has been obtained
in Phase 2 and are intended to gather the additional
information about effectiveness and safety that is needed
to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of the
drug.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
46
Phase 3 Clinical Studies
• Phase 3 studies also provide an adequate basis for
extrapolating the results to the general population and
transmitting that information in the physician labeling.
• Phase 3 studies usually include several hundred to
several thousand people.
• Great care is taken to ensure that this determination is
not made in isolation, but reflects current scientific
knowledge, agency experience with the design of clinical
trials, and experience with the class of drugs under
investigation
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
47
Accelerated Development/ Review
• Accelerated development/review is a highly specialized
mechanism for speeding the development of drugs that
promise significant benefit over existing therapy for
serious or life-threatening illnesses for which no therapy
exists.
• The fundamental element of this process is that
manufacturers must continue testing after approval to
demonstrate that the drug indeed provides therapeutic
benefit to the patient.
• If not, the FDA can withdraw the product from the
market more easily than usual.
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
48
Treatment IND
• Treatment investigational new drug are used to make promising
new drugs available to desperately ill patients as early in the
drug development process as possible.
• An immediately life-threatening disease means a stage of a
disease in which there is a reasonable likelihood that death will
occur within a matter of months or in which premature death is
likely without early treatment.
• Treatment INDs are made available to patients before general
marketing begins, typically during Phase 3 studies.
• Treatment INDs also allow FDA to obtain additional data on the
09/07/2007
Dept. of Pharmaceutics
drug’s
safety and effectiveness.
49
Long – Term Testing
• Long-term testing in animals ranges in duration from a
few weeks to several years.
• Some animal testing continues after human tests begin
to learn whether long-term use of a drug may cause
cancer or birth defects.
• Much of this information is submitted to FDA when a
sponsor requests to process with human clinical trials.
• The FDA reviews the preclinical research data and then
makes a decision as to whether to allow the clinical trials
to proceed
