Presentation Title: Crystallising a Challenging API – a Pragmatic Approach for Phase 1
Abstract: A significant number of molecules that are selected for development continue to demonstrate challenging physicochemical characteristics. In this presentation we comment on how an integrated and phase appropriate approach to development can overcome these hurdles with specific reference to the final crystallisation of such candidates via a brief case study.
