A guide to drug discovery: Target selection in drug discovery

Jonathan Knowles et al. Nat Rev Drug Discov. 2003 Jan.

Abstract

Target selection in drug discovery--defined here as the decision to focus on finding an agent with a particular biological action that is anticipated to have therapeutic utility--is influenced by a complex balance of scientific, medical and strategic considerations. In this article, we provide an introduction to the key issues in target selection and discuss the rationale for decision making.
