Novel drug discovery strategies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: the latest developments

COPD remains a challenging area, with a significant unmet medical need. Despite previous efforts, few effective therapies exist. Innovative in vitro models, targeted molecular therapies, and drug repurposing strategies are showing promise. Emphasizing advanced preclinical models and repurposing existing drugs could transform treatment paradigms, promoting more effective therapies for complex diseases like COPD. These innovations hold potential for enhancing drug discovery efficiency, leading to personalized and precision medicine approaches.
