  • Published : 2002.10.01

Abstract

With the recent development of combinatorial chemistry, recombinant biotechnology and rational drug design, millions of compounds are being produced in the laboratories of pharmaceutical companies. These new drug candidates are evaluated their efficacy and toxicity through in vivo animal model studies which is very important in drug development. From these studies, very successful drug candidates are selected. (omitted)
