Best of both worlds: An expansion of the state of the art pKa model with data from three industrial partners
In a unique collaboration between Simulations Plus and several industrial partners, we were able to develop a new version 11.0 of the previously published in silico pKa model, S+pKa, with considerably improved prediction accuracy
Prediction of Disease Progression and Clinical Response in Systemic Sclerosis: Experience From a Proof-of-Concept Trial
Using the modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) as a surrogate for disease activity, a phase 2a study in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) measured efficacy of the autotaxin inhibitor ziritaxestat.
Assessing the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden Classification of Putative Anticholinergic Drugs Using Drug Properties
This study evaluated the use of machine learning to leverage drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) data together with physicochemical and pharmacological data to develop a novel anticholinergic burden scale and compare its performance to previously published scales.
Application of Mechanistic Pharmacokinetic Model for the Optimization of Metformin Delayed Release Dosage Form for Intestinal Targeting
Metformin (MET) is a widely prescribed drug for managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Despite the rich clinical experience and advantages, the clinical utility of MET in renal failure patients is limited because of the treatment-related side effects.
Investigative analysis of blood–brain barrier penetrating potential of electronic nicotine delivery systems (e-cigarettes) chemicals using predictive computational models
Seizures are known potential side effects of nicotine toxicity and have been reported in electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS, e-cigarettes) users, with the majority involving youth or young adults.

A Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Study to Assess the Adjuvanticity of Three Peptides in an Oral Vaccine
Following up on the first PBPK model for an oral vaccine built for alpha-tocopherol, three peptides are explored in this article to verify if they could support an oral vaccine formulation as adjuvants using the same PBPK modeling approach.
Women in Science: Dr. Mitali Gaurav, Assistant Director, Pharmacometrics
The first algorithm ever developed for processing by machine was designed by Ada Lovelace, a pioneering mathematician in the 19th century.
Systematic Development of Hot Melt Extrusion-Based Amorphous Solid Dispersion: Integrating Quality by Design and In Silico Modeling
The study aimed to develop and optimize apremilast (APST) solid dispersion formulations using copovidone (Kollidon VA64) as the carrier and vitamin E TPGS as the surfactant to enhance solubility and dissolution, and to utilize in silico Physiologically Based Biopharmaceutics Modeling (PBBM) in GastroPlus to simulate the in vivo behaviour of the optimized formulation, predicting its potential for enhancing oral bioavailability.
