Prestwick CNS Drug Library

Prestwick CNS Drug Library:
A Unique Library of 320 CNS drugs

The complexity of CNS diseases, the challenge of central drug delivery in combination with the high attrition rate of therapeutic candidates during development make CNS drug approval more difficult compared to other therapeutic areas. To help you identify high-quality hits, 320 structurally diverse approved drugs were carefully selected by a pharmacist-chemist team for their known pharmacological effects on the Central Nervous System.

This Library will be a useful tool for the discovery of compounds dedicated to the treatment of brain diseases, such as brain tumors, mental disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.
