Drug bioscreening is the systematic study of substances to determine their pharmacodynamics, that is, the effects of a drug on animals and humans and on their tissues and organs; and the response to drugs by animals and humans and their tissues and organs. The substances to be tested are exposed to a process that determines those that have potential value as well as those that do not. Drug bioscreening is a scanning procedure in living organisms such as animals designed to distinguish useful fro...
