The importance of critical micellar concentration for the prediction of solubility enhancement in biorelevant media
This study evaluated if the intrinsic surface properties of compounds are related to the solubility enhancement (SE) typically observed in biorelevant media like fasted state simulated intestinal fluids (FaSSIF).
In silico optimization of pharmacokinetic properties and receptor binding affinity simultaneously: a ‘parallel progression approach to drug design’ applied to ß-blockers
The present work exploits the potential of in silico approaches for minimizing attrition of leads in the later stages of drug development.
