Discovery and Basic Research Partner Presentation DBR

Description: "Drugs don't work in patients who don't take them." The demand for innovative, palatable drug formulations that increase patient compliance is rising. The receptor-based discovery of taste modulators that block specific off-tastes enables the creation of targeted breakthrough solutions for drug taste challenges, such as bitterness. These state-of-the-art technologies have the potential to address current shortfalls in drug palatability and allow for a significant improvement in drug therapy compliance.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the science of flavors.
  • Understand how flavors modulate taste perception and can help overcome taste challenges often associated with drug products.
  • Learn about an innovative technology that enables the discovery of specific bitter blockers that can significantly increase the efficacy of bitterness masking flavors developed for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.
