  • Publication number: 20030087308
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a high throughput screening (HTS) method, comprising reducing the particle size of a poorly soluble candidate compound to about 1 micron or less using a small scale mill or microfluidics. The product produced from this process is a dispersion of a nanoparticulate candidate compound having one or more surface stabilizers adsorbed onto the surface of the compound. The reduction in particle size results in an increase in the solubility and/or dispersibility of the compound, thus increasing the effectiveness of HTS conducted in conjunction with the particle size reduction process. The particle size reduction process can be conducted before HTS to make screening compounds soluble and/or dispersible, or after HTS to validate an insoluble or poorly compound determined to be active after screening.
