Abstract

Metabolomics, the comprehensive study of metabolites in biological systems, has emerged as a powerful tool for understanding the molecular mechanisms of drug action. By analyzing the complete set of metabolites within cells, tissues, or organisms, metabolomics provides insights into how drugs alter cellular metabolism, interact with biochemical pathways, and induce therapeutic effects. This article explores the role of metabolomics in drug discovery and development, highlighting its potential in identifying biomarkers, evaluating drug efficacy, and assessing toxicity. The article also discusses the integration of metabolomics with other omics technologies and its applications in personalized medicine, offering a deeper understanding of drug action at the molecular level.
