Towards a molecular simulation-driven approach to polymer selection for drug formulation
Many drugs are poorly soluble in water and require suitable formulation for oral administration. The use of polymer excipients in amorphous solid dispersions of drugs has emerged as a promising strategy. This requires the identification of suitable polymers for the drug of interest.
