Making space for anti-infective drug discovery. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The dwindling supply of effective treatments for infectious disease is cause for alarm. Searches for anti-infectives yielding fewer and fewer novel discoveries have been concentrated in overly restricted regions of target space, screening space, chemical space, and competition space. Appreciating the diverse axes of these spaces may encourage wider exploration.
