Drug Development Team
Drug development is a process of bringing a
new pharmaceutical drug into the market
after investigation through several phases,
which includes:
Drug Discovery
Pre-clinical Testing
IND application filing
Clinical Studies (Phase I, II & III)
NDA filing
FDA Review & Decision
Phase IV (Post Marketing)

Non Clinical Drug Development
A targeted drug has to go through several studies
such as non-clinical and clinical phases/studies.
Non-clinical studies are also known as pre-clinical
studies.
During this study important safety data's are
collected, which is essential for filing IND application.
Objective:
To confirm that the target drug is safe for use in
humans or not. (It is done by studying animal
pharmacology and toxicology testing)
To determine the LD50, ED50 etc.
To determine the pharmacokinetics of the drug and
also the route of administration.
Non-Clinical Drug Development
Non-Clinical Drug Development Process:
Pharmacological Profile: The compound
identified is subjected to animal testing
which involves 2 stages:
1. EOR (Experiment on Rodents): Mouse, Rats,
Rabbits etc
2. EOLA (Experiment on Larger Animals): Dog,
Cow, Monkey etc
The compound is administered via oral and
parenteral route to assess its safety.
Non-Clinical Drug
Development
Types of Non-Clinical studies:
Pharmacodynamics:
o Primary: To determine the effect of the
compound on the target organ.
o Secondary: To determine the effect of the
compound on organs other than the target
organ.
o Safety: To determine the lethal dose and to
check the effect of the compound on CNS,
Cardiovascular and Respiratory system at
therapeutic and higher dose.
Pharmacokinetics: To determine the ADME of
the compound.
