Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order for therapeutic drug development starts with drug synthesis (iv), followed by biological experimentation (i) to test the initial efficacy. Refined screening methods (v) are then used to further evaluate the drug's potential. Safety pharmacology (ii) assesses the drug's safety profile before moving on to clinical trials (iii), where the drug is tested in humans.
