    GlossaryDrug Targets (Therapeutic Targets)

    specific molecules drugs interact with to produce therapeutic effects

    Drug targets, also known as pharmacological targets or therapeutic targets, are specific molecules in the body, often proteins, that drugs interact with to produce a therapeutic effect. These targets can include enzymes, receptors, ion channels, or other proteins involved in disease processes. By binding to these targets, drugs can modify their activity, leading to changes in cellular function and ultimately improving health outcomes.
