Pharmaceutical product development involves

• drug discovery,
• development of the drug substance (for improved processibility and absorption), and
• development of the drug product (identity and amount of excipients, choice of manufacturing platform or process).

Product development requires access to material property information and efficient use of expert knowledge. In general, however, expert knowledge has not been adequately captured or stored, and thus is not easily accessible. The thrust of the product formulation decision support system addresses this need.
