How can scientist tell if a compound will work as a drug?

I was wondering how a scientist or a pharmacist can look at a chemical structure of a compound and determine how that will work on the human body.

Am I wrong about this completley, and they just test random compounds out on people and some turn up being dope when others don't?

Also, I know that dope that works on certain receptors get you high. Am I to understand that all dope that works on those receptors would get a person high?
