Strategies for Streamlining Small Molecule Formulation Development When Bridging from Candidate Selection to First-in-Human Clinical Testing

Pharmaceutical Technology

Key considerations in the candidate selection stage The first step in a drug development program is choosing the optimum molecule from a range of potential leads that have been optimized within drug discovery. We start by using in-silico modeling of any pre-existing data associated with the lead compounds.
