Arylalkanolamines (ArROHNR2) are a class of medicinal molecules that are structurally related to one another in certain respects.
Detailed understanding of their
structure-activity relationship is expected to aid in
drug discovery
In the fields of medicine, biotechnology and pharmacology, drug discovery is the process by which new candidate medications are discovered.
Historically, drugs were discovered by identifying the active ingredient from traditional remedies or by ...
