Explain the term,target molecules or drug targets as used in medicinal chemistry.

(N/A) In medicinal chemistry,drug targets refer to the key molecules involved in certain metabolic pathways that result in specific diseases. These molecules are typically biological macromolecules such as carbohydrates,proteins,lipids,and nucleic acids.
Drugs are chemical agents designed to interact with these target molecules,often by binding to their active sites,to inhibit or modulate their biological activity and thereby treat the disease.
