Challenges facing 21st century
pharma R&D
• Decreasing R&D efficiency
– Newer drug candidates display poor “developability”
characteristics, e.g. poor solubility
• Increasing R&D cost
– It is estimated that the majority of costs in new drug
development are now primarily related to costs of
failed projects
• Switch from “blockbuster” to “niche buster”
– Priorities switch to address unmet medical needs
outcomes
-
Diagnosing the decline in
pharmaceutical R&D efficiency
Scannell et al., Nature Reviews, 2012
-
The need for new formulation and
drug delivery technology• Patient preference for oral dosage forms
• Over 75% of drugs in development are poorly soluble
• ~30% of medicines licensed since 2010 display a positive food effect
• Need for patient centric dosage forms
• Expediated drug approval and “earlier access” to markets
-
The problem of insolubility
• Medicinal/computational chemists are largely targeting
high affinity and selectivity
• Solubility can get left by the wayside
• General tendency is that new drugs are becoming more
insoluble
• And formulators are getting crazier….

Increasing trend of poorly water
soluble lead compounds
• Increasing number of poorly water soluble drugs in drug
development

How can in silico modeling help?
• Example 1
– Using multivariate statistics and machine learning to
predict drug solubility in formulations
-
PLS
Visual explanation
• Identify the lines through X and Y space that – together –maximize the covariance between T and U
• Thus, the line through X maximizes explained X variance and the line through Y maximizes explained Y variance

Conclusions
• Understanding solubility is key to modern drug
development
• Solubility can for some systems be reasonably well
predicted using in silico methods
• This is crucial, since it can save a lot of time and effort
for formulation scientists, when a new drug compound is
going to be introduced to the market.
