Drug repurposing: How high quality bioactive molecules help accelerate the search for new treatments

Despite advances in technology and our understanding of biology, bringing a new drug to market is now taking longer and is becoming slower and increasingly expensive.

One potential solution gaining traction within the industry is drug repurposing:
Harnessing existing medicines for new therapeutic applications. With this strategy increasingly used to find promising new treatments in several key fields, we consider how repurposing bioactive molecules could help accelerate drug development. Recently this strategy has made headlines around the world as scientists attempt to repurpose existing drugs to fast track the discovery of treatments for COVID-19.
