What do they mean by "Novel Drugs" that companies make?
139967
It means the drug is new or different from other drugs.  many drugs are in classes (barbiturates, benzodiazapines, opiates, etc), and one would see a novel drug as being a completely new drug--lacking structural similarities with any yet-characterized class of drugs, and likely exerting its mechanism of action in a different way than known drugs.

.... And tobacco companies can still make cigarettes \n.... And car companies can still make cars\n.....And gun companies can still make guns\n.....And rollercoaster companies can still make rollercoasters\n.....And computer companies can still make computer monitors\n.....And Alcohol companies can still make booze.\n\nAll of the above have the potential to harm you. Some in a significant way, some in not so significant ways. They are all allowed to continue producing their product. Why would cell phones be any different?\n\nMoney is a big deciding factor for companies. Companies wouldn't be profitable if it wasn't, and isn't that what companies are for?\n\nBesides, cell phones have not been proven to cause cancer.\n\n*Edited to add: Well, Mandy, I guess there is a conspiracy for everything then. I guess that's right up there with not sticking your face next to a running microwave. That hasn't been proven to cause cancer, yet there are still people who won't use microwaves. *shrug* Either way, I'm not going to let fear of cancer run my life. I could step into the street tomorrow morning and get creamed by one of the idiot teenagers on the block. \n\nI'm all for people having their own opinions, and I don't have any problems with you thinking what you want to. I choose not to read Orson Wells-type sites that sound like they were written purely for panic's sake. Furthermore, the site that you listed as a source was written to peddle a DVD. If I believed in that type of a source, I would also be inclined to believe that all diet pills work wonders ...

Generic Pharmaceutical is the same as generic drugs.\n\nQuoted from the source below -\n"Generic drugs” is a term used for prescription drugs identified by their chemical name.  When the patent has expired on a brand name drug, the FDA permits manufacturers other than the original developer to create a bioequivalent of the brand name drug and make it available to the public.  Generally, more than one manufacturer will create the generic version, although in many cases the same pharmaceutical firm that produces the brand name drug also makes the generic version.  This prompts competitive pricing of the generic version and usually results in a less expensive drug.

Usually, new drugs are developed through methods involving a test tube and isolated proteins and/or DNA. Would you like to be the first to try a new drug? It can be very dangerous.\n\nIn order to try to maximize safety from side effects, we test these drugs on human and/or animal cells in culture, then with animal models to see if there are potentially serious side effects we don't expect. Phase III clinical trials finally test the drugs in limited doses on human subjects.

I hope you mean in a business context because that's how I am going to answer.  People need to be informed of progress to make intelligent decisions respecting potential investment into capital markets/equities.  \n\nExample: Oil companies report on drilling so that determination of reserves and possible renewed supplies can be made which in turn assist in evaluating the company doing the drilling by allowing them to restate their reserves.  Usually when a well hits the company stock will rise in value as a resuld of those increased reserves.\n\nExample: Drug companies always talk about where they are in clinical trials.  By doing that investors have an idea what new products to expect and can more intelligently determine weather the company is going in the right direction or not than invest accordingly.  When a drug has a successful testing series through the FDA and is approved than the company stock will generally benefit.

Pharmaceuticals is more of the big gun companies (Merck, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline).  Where as biotech encompasses a wide range of companies.  Ones that make pharmaceuticals, ones that make compounds that help with the discovery of pharmaceuticals, medical devices are sometimes included.  Both sectors have tradionally been excellent investments, but recently have been down some b/c of lawsuits, the market drop and many of the smaller biotech companies just don't have any earnings.  I think if your looking at a long term investment (10+ years), biotech will pay off.  But you have to be wise in your choice of companies.  The bigger companies are Amgen, Genetech, and Genzyme.  Your best bet is to get some fund prospectus on a Biotech fund and a Pharmaceutical/Healthcare fund from a company like Fidelity.  The prospectus usually will have a current listing of all the companies the fund is invested in, that way you can see what they are investing in and go from there.

Generally all nanotech drug delivery systems work by microencapsulating drugs/poisons in vesicles.  The previous reply is correct in saying that certain receptors can then activate the decomposition of said vesicle and the delivery of the drug.  However, also there is research currently being undertaken where it is not just the enemy virus/cell which is sought out, but also the chemicals produced by certain illnesses, for example cancer.  Therefore a nanofabricated drug 'capsule' can be made to release its contents when it is in an area of high concentration of a certain illnesses byproduct.  This has increased the range of diseases which can be attacked.  In particular HIV where the receptors on the outside of the cell undergo mutations depending on the strain and point of lifecycle.  Fascinating!

I believe it means the 1st, 2nd, 3rd developments/formulas for certain drugs.  Just like you have 1st, 2nd, 3rd cousins.
