This is a timeline of drug development, attempting to describe scientific developments on pharmacology, and events related to medicinal aplications of drugs. Notable drugs are named, as well as some prominent and historic pharmaceutical companies. Historic regulations for the development of drugs are also named. Antibiotics are described in the timeline of antibiotics, while psychoactive drugs are described in the timeline of psychoactive drugs.

Big picture
Time period | Development summary |
---|---|
Ancient times | The use of natural extracts for medicinal purposes goes back thousands of years.[1] Most likely discovered through a combination of trial and error, early medicines often had as much religious and spiritual significance as they did healing importance. Plants were the basis of the ancient medicines, and were complemented with minerals and animal substances. Often the same plants and herbs were used for similar diseases among different civilizations, even though they were discovered separately.[2] |
5th–15th century | Treatment of disease through development of new herbal remedies may have been very difficult in an environment where the prevailing attitude is that disease is God’s punishment for sin. Practitioners of herbal remedies would often be seen as heretics. Medical progress is very weak due to the prevailing unscientific opinion.[2] |
14th–17th century | During the Renaissance, the development of medicinal remedies in Europe is reborn. Pharmacopeias are established in multiple cities. |
19th century | The subject of pharmacology (Materia Medica) is established as a scientific discipline late in the century, by people such as Rudolf Buchheim, Oswald Schmiedeberg, Paul Ehrlich, and Henry Dale.[3][4] Until the late 1800s, most drugs are based on herbs or extraction of ingredients from botanical sources.[4] Oswald Schmiedeberg (1838–1921) is generally recognized as the founder of modern pharmacology.[5] |
20th century | In the 1930s, drug discovery starts concentrating on screening natural products and isolating the active ingredients for treating diseases. The active ingredients are normally the synthetic version of the natural products.[4] The introduction of penicillin in the 1940s starts the era of antibiotics, which are recognized as one of the greatest advances in therapeutic medicine.[6] A great milestone that would boost the era of DNA and medicine is the elucidation of the double-helical structure of DNA by Watson and Crick in 1953.[7] In the 1950s vancomycin is discovered.[7] In the late 1970s, recombinant DNA products utilizing knowledge of cellular and molecular biology starts development, and the biotechnology industry launches.[4]By the 1990s, combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening, molecular modeling and bioinformatics are already contributing to the discovery of newer generation drugs based on genomics and proteomics.[7] |
21th century | In the current century, more pharmaceutical advances are made possible thanks to a number of advanced disciplines. Along with cellular biology, chemical biology and microbiology, state-of-the art research includes enzyme-based molecular synthesis, recombinant biomolecules and stem cell research.[8] In the last years, hundreds of pharmaceutical companies have more than 7,000 medicines in development around the world, with about half of those new drugs undergoing development in the United States.[2] It seems likely that the next stage of advances in drug discovery will be result of integrating sophisticated new computational, bioinformatics, pharmacogenomics, engineering, and/or nanotechnology methods.[1] |
