Process DevelopmentProcess development aims to optimize the performance of manufacturing systems. This involves the assessment of quality and efficiency of both processes and products. This is particularly important in the scale-up of chemical processes.Lead OptimizationLead optimization is a phase in the drug discovery process. A lead is a compound that has demonstrated desired biological effects on a target. Optimization involves making chemical modifications to the structure in order to generate analogues of the original compound, which have higher potency and safety profiles.Method ValidationMethod validation is the process used to prove that the analytical procedure used for a particular test is capable of providing suitable data.Compound ScreeningCompound screening is a method used to discover specific compounds that could be promising candidates for pharmaceutical use. This potential is identified when compounds interact with the target protein during screening and could therefore be carried forward in the drug development process.
