The process of identifying new therapeutic uses for existing
medications is known as drug repurposing. It's a good way to find or develop
new drug compounds with different pharmacological applications. In recent
years, numerous pharmaceutical companies have used the drug reformulation
technique in their Research and Development of pharmaceuticals programmes to produce
new medications based on the identification of new biological drug targets.
This technique is extremely efficient, saves time, minimal cost, and has a low
risk of failure. It boosts a drug's therapeutic value and its success rate. As
a result, drug repositioning is a viable alternative to the standard drug
development procedure. Identifying novel molecular compounds by de novo
approach of drug is challenging, tedious and costly endeavor. To identify novel
use of drug molecules many laboratory and drug interactions is been done. It is
thus thought to be a developing method in existing drug, which have previously
been shown safe in people and are in turn used to tackle rare and complicated
diseases. Biopharmaceutical businesses have struggled to get the anticipated
results when aiming to boost productivity through novel discovery technologies.
Repositioning existing medications for new indications could help the industry
achieve productivity gains. More firms are looking for repositioning options in
their existing pharmacopoeia, and the number of drug repurposing has many
success stories.
