This thesis presents a significant advance in selection of drug candidates for transdermal drug delivery. The methodology uses molecular dynamics simulations to understand the translocation of drug candidates across a model of the skin barrier, in atomistic detail. With this, researchers can predict the translocation rate and efficiently shortlist the drug candidates before conducting costly laboratory-based trials. More importantly, predictions are made with high confidence due to the clarification of the molecular mechanism of translocation. | en_US |
