DEVELOPABILITY CLASSIFICATIONalt
The DCS model is an application of biopharmaceutics concepts specifically designed for formulation development. knowledge of formulation strategies for similar compounds in the same DCS-space to your candidate allows for insight into the optimum formulation approach. Please input your Predicted Permeability in Humans, your Solubility in FAaSSIF or Water & the Target Dose. If you have not yet calculated these values, you may be able to by using many online prediction tools.
