Water Solubility in Drug Discovery

Solubility has been a major hurdle for many 𝐃𝐫𝐮𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 programs. Poor solubility of compounds can inherently impact on the quality of decision-making data which affects the following properties:
❌ Absorption
❌ Distribution
❌ Metabolism
❌ Excretion (ADME)
❌ Pharmacokinetic (PK)

Poor water solubility ultimately leads to low drug absorption and exposure. 💊💊💊

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.
