Computer Aided Drug Design in Taste Masking (CADD)

“Enhancing Medication Experience: Computer-Aided Drug Design Revolutionizes Taste Masking”

About Course:

In the realm of pharmaceutical research and development, taste masking plays a crucial role in enhancing patient compliance and acceptability of medications. Bitter or unpleasant tastes in orally administered drugs can often lead to patient aversion, leading to difficulties in medication adherence, particularly in children or individuals with swallowing difficulties. To address this challenge, the field of computer-aided drug design (CADD) has emerged as a powerful tool for formulating strategies to mask undesirable tastes while maintaining the efficacy of drugs. The Workshop on Computer-Aided Drug Design in Taste Masking aims to bring together researchers, scientists, and industry professionals to explore the latest advancements in taste masking techniques and their application in pharmaceutical development.

Aim: The aim of the Computer-Aided Drug Design in Taste Masking workshop is to enhance understanding, explore computational tools, share best practices, foster collaboration, identify future research directions, and empower participants in utilizing CADD techniques to improve drug palatability and patient acceptance.

Course Objectives:

  • Provide an overview of taste masking challenges in drug development and the importance of patient-centric formulation approaches.
  • Introduce participants to the principles and techniques of computer-aided drug design and its application in taste masking.
  • Share insights into the latest computational tools, methodologies, and software platforms used in taste masking studies.
  • Highlight successful case studies and real-world examples where CADD has facilitated the development of palatable medications.
  • Foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among participants from academia, industry, and regulatory bodies.
  • Identify future research directions and opportunities in the field of taste masking through CADD.
