WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE: New Thinking to Incentivize Drug Development
AbstractDespite unprecedented advancements in our understanding of disease process and targeting opportunities, our continued ability to discover and develop new medicines is fundamentally in doubt. These challenges reflect a growing recognition of the escalating risks of drug development (in terms of dollars and time) by established pharmaceutical companies and investors. Such hurdles are surmountable and require new thinking. This opinion piece conveys an overview of the challenge and an example of how we might overcome these challenges with constructive and forward-looking incentives for drug discovery.

Development of an Accelerated Rotator-based Drug Release Method for the Evaluation of Bupivacaine Multivesicular Liposomes
ConclusionsAn accelerated rotator-based IVRT method for bupivacaine MVLs was developed in this study, with the discriminatory ability to distinguish between formulations of different qualities. The developed IVRT method was a robust tool for generic development of MVL based formulations. (Source: Pharmaceutical Research)

Comparative Study of Dermal Pharmacokinetics Between Topical Drugs Using Open Flow Microperfusion in a Pig Model
ConclusionsdOFM pig model is a robust and reproducible method to directly determine topical drug concentration in dermal interstitial fluid. Dermal biopsies were a less reliable measure of dermal exposure due to possible contributions from drug bound to tissue and drug associated with skin appendages. (Source: Pharmaceutical Research)
