Special Session on Solubility of Pharmaceuticals

“Solubility of Multi-Component Solids (Salts and Cocrystals)”

Session co-chairs: Kiyohiko Sugano (Ritsumeikan University, Japan) and Alex Avdeef (in-ADME Research, USA)

Since 2009, the International Association of Physical Chemists (IAPC) conferences have included special sessions covering solubility measurement and interpretation. 

• IAPC-4 (Red Island, Croatia, 21-24 September 2015): “Thermodynamic Solubility Measurement of Practically Insoluble Ionizable Drugs – Case Studies & Suggested Method Improvements” session resulted in a publication drawing on expert consensus opinions from researchers in six countries (Hungary, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, United States) [https://doi.org/10.5599/admet.4.2.292]. The commentary reached 2509 reads and 74 citations in ResearchGate (92 in Google Scholar) by 8 Feb 2023.
• IAPC-6 (Zagreb, Croatia, 4-7 September 2017): “Pharmaceutical Cocrystals - Physicochemical Properties and Formulations” special session included cutting-edge presentations from internationally-recognized experts in cocrystal solubility-pH measurement. Several publications on the topic emerged out of the meeting.
• IAPC-8 (Split, Croatia, 9-11 September 2019): “State-of-the-Art Solubility Methods in Drug Development” session continued the symposia on the topic of solubility of pharmaceuticals. One of the associated session papers [http://dx.doi.org/10.5599/admet.686] reached 2845 reads and 38 citations in ResearchGate by 8 Feb 2023.

This year, Kiyohiko Sugano (Ritsumeikan University) and Alex Avdeef (in-ADME Research) strive to carry on the symposia on the topic of solubility of pharmaceuticals with the title "Solubility of Multi-Component Solids (Salts and Cocrystals)". More information can be found in the brochure.
