Small-molecule drug candidates are increasingly falling “ beyond the rule of 5 ,” making oral administration more challenging. Optimizing a drug’s solid form can improve its solubility and bioavailability when further molecular modifications are prohibitive. This minireview covers solid form strategies for increasing the solubility and oral [...]
With increasingly tight timelines between bench and clinic, considering formulation strategies early on can give your program a competitive edge. This succinct formulations guide provides specific clinically-used examples of common formulations, and can help you select a formulation strategy most likely to succeed based on the properties of your compound.

This table features a selection of some of the best drug discovery journals. While not exhaustive (our team’s RSS feed includes hundreds), this is a subjective list of where to find the most valuable articles for those entering the field.
It's hard not to think about infectious diseases at the moment, but it's a great time to review the drug discovery literature. One area of drug discovery that has deep roots in infectious disease research is targeted covalent inhibition. Targeted covalent inhibitors form covalent bonds with discrete targets (as opposed to [...]
