Water Solubility in Drug Discovery

Solubility has been a major hurdle for many ๐ƒ๐ซ๐ฎ๐  ๐ƒ๐ข๐ฌ๐œ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ programs. Poor solubility of compounds can inherently impact on the quality of decision-making data which affects the following properties:
โŒ Absorption
โŒ Distribution
โŒ Metabolism
โŒ Excretion (ADME)
โŒ Pharmacokinetic (PK)

Poor water solubility ultimately leads to low drug absorption and exposure. ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿ’Š

If your lead compound is suffering from low water solubility, Epichem can help. Epichem is highly experienced in improving water solubility through the preparation of various pro-drug derivatives including phosphates and sulfates.
