About
Andrew Leithead’s research focuses on pharmaceutical formulation and biopharmaceutics, with a particular emphasis on understanding how the composition of intestinal media influences the solubility of poorly soluble drug compounds. His most-cited work, a 2017 study employing a design of experiments approach, systematically investigated the effects of simulated intestinal fluid components on drug solubility. This contribution is critical for improving the predictive accuracy of in vitro dissolution tests, thereby aiding the development of more effective oral drug formulations. With 36 citations, this paper has provided a foundational framework for researchers seeking to refine biorelevant media for solubility screening. Leithead’s work bridges the gap between laboratory simulations and physiological conditions, offering practical insights for both academic and industrial pharmaceutical scientists. His careful, data-driven methodology underscores his commitment to enhancing the reliability of early-stage drug development, making his research a valuable resource for students and professionals aiming to optimize formulation strategies.
