An association that connects a drug or other agent to a clinically intended, molecular-scale target. The target value may be a gene, gene product, anatomic structure, biological process, or other concept, where the effect of the agent on the target is thought to be of therapeutic, diagnostic, or other clinical relevance to a disease process. The effect is most often direct, as defined at a molecular scale, but may also be indirect and/or defined at a larger scale.
