Drugs are biologically active compounds. Drug discovery and drug development rely on methods for measuring biological activity. The term “activity” is quite general. In practice, a substance’s biological activity can refer to how a substance affects a biological pathway, cell-level responses, safety risks, how long a substance resides within in a system, as well as a substance’s effects in an organism (called pharmacodynamics). The design of methods for measuring activity is a critical aspect of drug discovery. The design of robust and informative methods can accelerate the drug discovery and development process.
