Special issue devoted to the IAPC-10 Meeting: Joint World Conferences on Physico-Chemical Methods in Drug Discovery and Development and on ADMET and DMPK.

Abstract

The present issue of ADMET and DMPK is dedicated to the IAPC-10 Meeting, which was organized as a joint event consisting of 10th World Conference on Physico-Chemical Methods in Drug Discovery and Develop¬ment and 6th World Conference on ADMET and DMPK. The meeting took place in the University of Belgrade Rectorate building, Belgrade, Republic of Serbia, September 4-6, 2023. IAPC meetings are organized as annual events in alternating European and East Asia locations. The topics covered the most advanced directions and new achievements in physico-chemical methods, which underlie almost all instrumental techniques used in the research processes in drug discovery and pharmaceutical development. Experimental determination of ADMET properties through the in vitro and in vivo assays was discussed as well as modern theoretical methods for computer-aided drug design. Ten sessions were organized, among which two special sessions: 1) Special Session on Solubility of Multi-Component Solids (Salts and Cocrystals), organized and co-chaired by Kiyohiko Sugano and Alex Avdeef, and 2) Special Session on the ADME properties and toxicity prediction by HPLC, organized and chaired by Klara Valko.
