The field of drug analysis encompasses various components, such as the identification of new medications, evaluation of their binding affinity and selectivity, characterization of their molecular structures, and assessment of their efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments.

The application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is extensively employed in the screening of new pharmacological compounds as well as in investigations related to structural analysis and binding interactions. In industrial applications, the substantial expenses associated with NMR equipment necessitate the implementation of acceleration solutions to enhance throughput for large-scale drug screening. Specifically, in the context of efficiency testing, the desired level of high throughput has yet to be achieved. Hence, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is typically not utilized in such tests. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilitates in vivo examinations in both animal models and human subjects.
