Abstract
Anticancer drug development is facing ever-increasing challenge. A huge number of chemicals or bio-agents should be evaluated pharmacologically and clinically. Due to lack of funds and human resources, high-quality and robust drug evaluation needs jointefforts between chemists and pharmacologists. New generation of drug evaluation and development is undertaken and renewed with high-throughput biotechnology and genomic/ molecular mechanistic exploration. This Article provides this area of anticancer drug design, evaluation, discovery and licensing with balanced and careful efforts.
