FDA Approved & Pharmacopeial Drug Library

New drug development is a time-consuming and high-cost process. Drug repurposing (also called drug repositioning, reprofiling or retasking) offers various advantages over developing an entirely new drug for a given indication. First, the risk of failure is lower. Second, the time frame for drug development can be reduced. Third, less investment is needed. Approved drugs and pharmacopoeia collected compounds have identified bioactivities, good pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety which are suitable for drug repurposing.

MCE owns a unique collection of 3,571 compounds from approved institutions such as FDA, EMA, NMPA, PMDA, etc. or pharmacopoeia such as USP, BP, JP, etc. These compounds have well-characterized bioactivities, safety and bioavailability properties. MCE FDA Approved & Pharmacopeial Drug Library is a good tool for drug repurposing which could dramatically accelerate drug development.
