title: [Mechamisns of action of novel drugs].
abstract: Novel drugs only seldom involve a new mechanism of action. While new targets of action of antimicrobial drugs have been found especially within the replicative cycle of the HI virus, new antibacterial drugs remain very scarce. The powerful emergence of molecular biology is evident in the strong increase in the proportion of biotechnological drugs, particularly as far as drugs intended for cancer treatment and those affecting the immune system are concerned. Clinical use of biological drugs is still new, and big problems have so far not been associated with these products.
