- 2007: 69 drugs, but 16 are new drugs
- average 15 years and US$800 million for a new drug to market
- New drugs approved by FDA each year remain at 20~30 compounds.

Instances
‣ Each instance is defined as one drug treatment over a sample of controls.
• e.g. cells treated with vorinostat versus untreated ones.
‣ Instance = Drug type x Cell type x Duration x Dose
• e.g. 10µM vorinostat on MCF7 for 6 hours
‣ 6100 instances over 1309 drugs
