From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In
pharmacology and
pharmaceutics, a prototype drug is an individual
drug that represents a
drug class – group of medications having similar
chemical structures,
mechanism of action and
mode of action. Prototypes are the most important, and typically the first developed drugs within the class, and are used as a reference to which all other drugs are compared.
