prepare a profile of the drug
Prepare a profile of the drug so that it becomes easy to determine whether the drug has potential and whether it is worth developing it further.
It means prepare a list of characteristics of the drug and its potential uses. Just like we prepare our own profiles in which we list out our qualities and skils etc.
In the case of the drugs, the drugs properties are listed out in the profile. Building up such a profile is called profiling the drug.
