Solubility & Bioavailability: Difficult Beasts to Tame - Quotient Sciences Dr. Dolly Jacob, Director of Integrated Development Services speaks with Drug Development & Delivery.
Poor solubility is becoming increasingly prevalent in drug pipelines. Infact, across the pharmaceutical industry, about 70 percent of drugs that enter development possess insufficient aqueous solubility for adequate and consistent gastrointestinal absorption.
In a recent article with Drug Development & Delivery, Quotient Sciences, Dr. Jacob discussed how the industries solubility and bioavailability challenges increase formulation complexity, raise failure rates, and drive-up development costs. At Quotient Sciences we find solutions to unlocking the potential of each small molecule we work with.
"Drug developers utilizing the traditional formulation development model aren’t assessing a molecule’s developability before pressing ahead into development or using key biopharmaceutics tools that can greatly aid in ensuring a molecule’s success, thus creating an industry need for a new and innovative way to develop drugs more efficiently."
