In 2021, 62% of new drug approvals were for small molecules, including new treatments for HIV, cancer, infections, heart and kidney disease, and more.

With biologics dominating headlines, one might be tempted to think that small molecule discovery is fading, or that there is little viable target and drug space left uncovered. This simply isn’t the case. In fact, small molecule drug discovery is entering a renaissance. In 2021, 62% of new drug approvals were for small molecules, including new treatments for HIV, cancer, infections, heart and kidney disease, neurological disorders, and more. While market share may shift as biologics discovery grows, small molecules—both alone and as part of mixed entities—will undoubtedly remain reliable and cost-effective treatment options for a wide range of common conditions. There is, in fact, target and drug space beyond what has traditionally been possible; but stagnated approaches to small molecule drug discovery just won’t get us there. Innovation is key. Just as novel methodologies and technologies have propelled biologics from theoretical concepts into the realm of available treatments, so will they help deliver a second coming of small molecules. There is much potential to be realized in small molecule drug discovery as we see advances in screening technologies, target exploration, and computational methods, including AI. But barriers to innovation abound: rising costs, technology gaps, data management challenges, fragmented workflows, productivity drains, increasing CRO reliance. How can organizations overcome these challenges to reap the benefits of a small molecule drug discovery renaissance?
