This is the latest episode of the free DDW narrated podcast, “Overcoming different barriers in drug discovery”, which covers three articles written for Volume 23, Issue 3 – Summer 2022 of DDW. They are called “Addressing the challenge of salt forms in drug discovery”, “A different approach: reimagining biology”, and “Women in Discovery: championing female […]

Some 5% of commercially available research compounds are sold as salt forms. These can have better properties than their parents, including preferable stability, solubility, bioavailability, and manufacturability. By selecting the correct salt form for an assay or as a reagent, scientists can optimise their research projects, says Andrievs Auseklis Auzin, Developer, Molport, Latvia. The research […]

For oligonucleotide API manufacturers, putting in place capacity and sustainability solutions will be essential in the future to meet increased demand for oligonucleotides. These molecules will be needed in ever greater quantities to fulfil the rising need for oligonucleotides as new uses for them are found in research, diagnosis and drug development. Seamus White is […]

The first Chemspec Digital took place online from 11–12 November 2020 and provided a dedicated meeting platform for the global fine and speciality chemicals community. A total of 1,591 attendees from 57 countries logged on to the platform during the two event days to network, conduct business and watch webinar content live and on demand. […]

Evotec is expanding its campus in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK, into a major, fully-integrated, co-located discovery and development centre to be named Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Campus. Adding a new building, which will house up to 100 biologists by the end of the year, will bring together all the key functions for  high-performance small molecule discovery up […]
