    Drug development is challenging, particularly for Central Nervous System (CNS) medications. It takes approximately 18 years to move a potential CNS medication from its initial discovery phase to the marketplace, often costing several billion dollars. The failure rate is high (only 8% of new CNS compounds entering Phase I studies will reach the market) and contributes to the high costs and slow rat ...
