C&EN White Paper
AI-Enabled Pharmaceutical Cocrystal Screening
Brought to you by Lonza
Overview

Optimizing the solid-state form of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is critical to ensuring drug efficacy, stability, and manufacturability. Among available forms, cocrystals offer unique advantages for improving physicochemical properties, but identifying the best candidates is challenging due to the vast number of possible combinations.

This white paper explores how AI-driven modeling accelerates cocrystal screening, enabling data-driven decisions early in development and reducing costly late-stage surprises.

Key Objectives:
  • Why solid-form selection impacts bioavailability, safety, and IP protection.
  • Limitations of traditional cocrystal screening and associated risks.
  • Exploring how AI integration streamlines workflows and improves development outcomes.
