Introduction to Pharmaceutical Crystal Form Design
The crystal form of a drug can significantly impact its physicochemical properties, such as solubility, stability, bioavailability, and manufacturability. Choosing the right crystal form is essential for ensuring the success of a drug product. Our team of experts at CD ComputaBio is dedicated to providing innovative and tailored solutions for your crystal form design needs.
Our Service
Crystal Structure Prediction
Utilize advanced computational algorithms and crystallographic databases to predict possible crystal structures of your drug molecule. For example, we can predict the most stable crystal forms under different conditions and provide insights into the intermolecular interactions within the crystal lattice.
Solubility Enhancement Design
Develop crystal forms that exhibit improved solubility, which is crucial for increasing the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. This may involve designing polymorphs, solvates, or co-crystals to enhance the drug's dissolution rate.
Stability Optimization
Identify crystal forms that offer enhanced stability against factors such as temperature, humidity, and light, ensuring the long-term quality and efficacy of the drug. We can analyze the thermodynamic stability of different crystal forms and recommend the most suitable ones for storage and formulation.
Formulation Compatibility Studies
Assess the compatibility of the designed crystal form with various excipients and formulation processes to facilitate seamless drug development. This helps in avoiding potential interactions that could affect the performance of the final drug product.

Approaches to Pharmaceutical Crystal Form Design Services
Empirical Approach
Rely on experimental screening and trial-and-error methods to discover different crystal forms.
This approach can be time-consuming but can yield unexpected results.
Semi-Empirical Approach
Combine experimental observations with limited computational predictions to narrow down the search for suitable crystal forms.
It offers a more directed approach compared to the empirical method.
Computational-Driven Approach
Predominantly rely on advanced computational techniques to predict and simulate crystal structures and their properties.
