The mission of the Division of Neuroscience and Behavior of NIDA is to discover, facilitate and promote outstanding basic animal and human research aimed at identifying the causes and consequences of drug addiction across the lifespan and to guide treatment strategies. As a component of the Division, the Chemistry and Pharmacology Branch supports research on all aspects of the chemistry and pharmacology of addictive drugs. The Branch develops and oversees a broad portfolio encompassing research on substance use disorders (SUD) and overdose designed to: 1) elucidate mechanisms of action, synthetic and biosynthetic methodologies, structure-activity relationships, pharmacology and toxicity of addictive drugs, and determination of 3D structures of ligands bound to biological targets, 2) develop new receptor type and subtype specific agents, and 3) discover and advance the pre-clinical development of new pharmacotherapies for the treatment of SUD and overdose, emphasizing the pre-clinical stages of target identification through hit-to-lead.
