Special issue devoted to the 3rd World Conference on Physico- Chemical Methods in Drug Discovery and Development

Abstract

The present and following issues of ADMET and DMPK are dedicated to the 3rd World Conference on Physico-Chemical Methods in Drug Discovery and Development (PCMDDD-3) held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, 23-26 September 2013. PCMDDD-3 is organized as a biannual event and is intended to provide a place and common ground for the scientific community whose work is closely related to the application of physical chemistry in ADME and DMPK research to get together in an open and relaxing atmosphere to exchange ideas and discuss challenges. The topics of the last conference included: physico-chemical methods and instrumentation in the physico-chemical profiling of drug substances, ADME and DMPK, determination and characterization of different solid forms, hydrates and polymorphs, separation and analytical techniques of importance in medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical research, computational methods and modelling. More details of the PCMDDD-3 can be found on the conference webpage: http://www.iapchem.org/page.php?page_id=34.
