Early in the discovery process there are typically not enough resources, or compound to conduct full solid-state characterization. Frequently hit-to-lead and lead optimization as well as early preclinical development are performed with amorphous or metastable forms of API. Only in late lead optimization or lead profiling stages an assessment of the physical properties of the known forms is commenced. Typical assessed properties include crystallinity (most often by PXRD), melting point, weight loss on heating, moisture sorption, and chemical and physical stability (e.g., formation of a hydrate). The stable form at room temperature should be assessed by a stable form screen and the risks to changes in the form addressed, especially if the stable form was not used during preclinical testing. It is important to remember that the most stable form is thermodynamically favored and any metastable forms will convert given the right conditions. If this occurs in a formulation or even in vivo, the result may be a loss of bioavailability causing a significant project setback or even failure. Formation of a hydrate can lead to a multifold loss in solubility.Given the aqueous nature of the gastric process, it can be difficult to dose the API in such a way as to avoid form conversions [70]. Later in development, other factors affected by the solid state, such as formulation stability, tableting characteristics, flow, resistance to deformation on grinding, and intellectual property become important.
Hitherto it has been assumed that the best crystalline form is the most stable form at room temperature, if exposure is not an issue. However, there are a number of formulation-stabilized metastable forms that may provide higher exposures in vivo.In the short-term, high-energy amorphous forms may be stabilized so that the delivery of an amorphous API is feasible [97–99]. Examples of stabilization techniques include hot-melt extrusion, freeze drying, and spray drying.
Spray-dried dispersions (SDDs) of low-solubility drugs using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) have been prepa red. It has been reported that SDDs containing HPMCAS provide supersaturation in vitro dissolution determinations and large bioavailability increases in vivo [98]. These SDDs provided amorphous drug/polymer colloids and an increased concentration of free drug and drug in micelles relative to crystalline or amorphous drug. A melting temperature (T
m
)/glass-transition temperature (Tg) (K/K) versus log P map for 139 compounds formulated as SDDs gave a perspective on an appropriate formulation strategy for low-solubility drugs with various physical properties was also reported [98].
To realistically estimate the impact of solubility on absorption, solubility and the degree of supersaturation in more physiologically relevant media should be deter­mined. Even if an SDD can be prepared and is physically and chemically stable for use, depending on the dose and percent loading of the polymer it may not be useful for attaining project goals. This is especially true for regulatory toxicity studies where the dose required to achieve a desired exposure is often much higher. If the amorphous state of an API becomes important to its development, further characterization should be conducted to determine important solid characteristics that may be used for intellectual property claims.
Although the physical form of a candi date may not be well characterized prior to its selection for advancement into regulatory toxicity studies and clinical development, it can impact in vitro and in vivo testing. Comparison of exposure results from dissimilar

forms may lead to interpretation issues that can complicate candidate comparison or selection. More consistent and reliable in vitro and in vivo results will be obtained, the earlier in discovery that a stable crystalline form is achieved. The benefit for the medicinal chemist is that data underpinning structure–activity relationships will be more useful for the selection and advancement of a good candidate. As with any endeavor, a balance must be achieved between the amount of work done versus the risk to the success of the project. Given the importance of understanding the physical form, early analysis of the intrinsic physical properties is essential for a well-designed testing funnel.

ADME
MARTIN E. DOWTY,DEAN M. MESSING,YURONG LAI, AND LEONID (LEO)KIRKOVSKY
4.1 INTRODUCTION
The term ADME denotes the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs and drug candidates upon administration to animals or humans. Th e ADME processes occurring after oral administration of drugs are depicted (Figure 4.1).
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss (1) the interplay of physiological phenomena and the properties of drug candidates in biological systems, and (2) the various preclinical tools that may be used to predict human performance. ADME information is critically important from the early drug design stage of discovery to the ultimate clinical development of the most promising candidates. The process of drug discovery requires the prediction of human ADME characteristics through the judicious preclinical use of various in silico, in vitro, and in vivo tools (Figure 4.2). Furthermore, targeted ADME properties need to be integrated into the overall desired potency and efficacy as well as safety requirements of a drug candidate.
Optimizing the use of ADME requires an understanding of the bioavailability of the drug candidate from the route of administration to the ultimate site of activity for the required duration of time in order to elicit the intended pharmacology with an adequate safety margin. The vast majority of drug candidates are intended for oral absorption, requiring an appreciation of drug dissolution and solubility within the gastrointestinal lumen, luminal behavior, enterocyte permeability, and intestinal and liver metabolism. Upon reaching the systemic circulation, it is important to charac­terize drug distribution to the intended site of activity and the barriers that may influence this delivery. Plasma pharmacokinetics typically dictates the intended

pharmacodynamics as well as unintended toxic effects. The duration of drug activity can be significantly influenced by drug metabolism and elimination. Understanding drug clearance and its influence on elimination pathways are necessary to better understand the potential for concomitant drug interactions. Other factors that may influence the ADME properties of a drug include genetic variability, health or disease state, environment, age, gender, and race/ethnicity. The key to optimal drug design is to understand ADME characteristics that are on the critical path as early as possible in drug discovery while there is adequate time to make appropriate alterations in chemical structure. Consequently, understanding the ADME properties of potential drug candidates is an important goal of the medicinal chemist.
4.2 ABSORPTION
Absorption of a drug is the first process a molecule must navigate in order to reach the systemic circulation. The properties of both the drug and the route of administration will influence the overall bioavailability of the compound. Much of the emphasis of this section will be on the oral route, which is typically the preferred one for patients and is the major focus of the pharmaceutical industry.
4.2.1 Route of Administration
Therapeutics can be delivered into the systemic circulation via a n umber of different routes. Generally, these include the oral and parenteral (intravenous, intramuscular,

intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous) routes of delivery. For various reasons including the need for local therapy or the infeasibility of the oral route, drugs can also be administered through other routes such as topically to the eyes (ocular), dermally or transdermally, nasally, rectally or intratracheally (inhalation). The drug administra­tion route should be judiciously evaluated in the drug discovery phase, based on the target of delivery (systemic versus local treatment), therapeutic indication and the
