What Are the Challenges in Using Catalysts for Drug Discovery?
Despite their advantages, the use of catalysts in drug discovery also presents several challenges:
Stability: Catalysts can degrade over time or under harsh reaction conditions, which can limit their effectiveness. Selectivity: Achieving high selectivity for a specific reaction can be difficult, particularly in the presence of multiple functional groups. Cost: The development and optimization of catalytic processes can be expensive and time-consuming.
