At the initial stages of drug development, chemical, physical, biological, microbiological, pharmacological, toxicological and other studies are carried out on tissues (in vitro) or laboratory animals. These are so-called preclinical studies, the purpose of which is to obtain scientific assessments and evidence of the effectiveness and safety of medicines.
