Drug Design: SAR by NMR
Traditionally, new drugs are developed by either making small changes to existing drugs or by individually testing thousands of compounds. Both of these methods require many hours of laborious chemical synthesis. However, new techniques that capitalize on the advances of modern technology are being applied in the drug industry to develop new drugs which decrease the cost and time required to discover and develop new drugs. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and x-ray crystallography can be used to analyze compounds in order to create three-dimensional images for detailed, visual analysis. Using these 3-D structures to design drugs has been divided into two categories: ligand-based drug design (LBDD) and structure-based drug design (SBDD).
