Drug Synthesis and Pharmacokinetics: Unraveling the Intricacies of Bioavailability and Metabolism

Abstract

John Wilson

The journey of a drug from its conceptualization in the laboratory to its therapeutic effects in the human body is a complex process that involves drug synthesis, pharmacokinetics and understanding the crucial concepts of bioavailability and metabolism. Drug synthesis is the process of creating pharmaceutical compounds through chemical reactions. This crucial stage in drug development involves designing, optimizing and producing substances with the potential to treat or prevent specific diseases. The synthesis of drugs is a multidisciplinary effort that combines principles of chemistry, pharmacology and often biochemistry to achieve the desired therapeutic effects.
