Pharma drugs)
The Pharmaceutical industry is one of the world’s largest industries, grossing well over $300 billion in the United States alone. Understanding how the drugs the pharma industry develops work and different characteristics of these compounds is important to nearly everyone as 50% of the US population takes at least one prescription medication regularly and nearly everyone takes a pharmaceutical pill at some point in their life.[1] See also WHO Model Lists of Essential Medicines. The following is a growing list of pharmaceutical compounds organized by disorder.
See Pharmaceutical Drug Targets for a list of drug targets organized by disease.
The majority of all modern medicinal drugs target members of the superfamily of proteins called the G protein-coupled receptors or GPCRs[2][3].
