Finding balance in drug discovery through multi-parameter optimisation
Successful drugs require a delicate balance of many properties, such as potency, ADME and toxicity, to meet a project’s therapeutic objective. To make decisions about compound progression and assay selection, the available data must be assessed against project-specific criteria. However, the data on which we base our decisions often come from different sources and can vary in quality, so how can we use this information to make confident decisions? In addition, how can we be sure that the criteria we’re using are the most appropriate?
