compounds able to form an amorphous state from both spray-drying and melt-cooling (assigned value 1), and non-glass-formers, i.e. compounds remaining crystalline irrespective of production technology used (assigned value −1). This classification neither took into account how much of the material that had become amorphous upon processing nor whether the amorphous material was stable over time; only the ability to exist in the amorphous state after being subjected to the two material processing techniques was modelled. It should here be noted that the melt-quenching Mdm2 inhibitor and spray-drying are two fundamentally different routes for solid formation, the former a transformation from the melted state and the latter from a solution. This should certify that we are studying the inherent glass-forming propensity of the drugs. The dataset was divided into training (2/3) and test (1/3) sets to allow assessment of general applicability of the models developed. Standard settings in Simca, including seven cross validation groups, were used. The model for glass stability was devised to separate stable glasses, defined as compounds which had retained more than 50% of the amorphous content after 1 month of storage

(assigned the value 1), from non-stable glasses defined as compounds that lost

more than 50% of the amorphous content during this time period (assigned value −1). Albendazole was excluded from the stability Trichostatin A chemical structure modelling due to its high crystalline content after production (82%) which possibly could obscure a correct analysis of the stability of the amorphous phase and hence increasing the risk of false classification, Due to the small number of compounds (n = 23) and that the number of compounds in the stable group (n = 15) was large compared to the unstable group (n = 8), all the compounds were included in the model Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II development. To give the two groups equal weight, the unstable group was duplicated in the input matrix used for PLS-DA, resulting in that information from the same compound was repeated eight rows down in the matrix. This approach has been identified as suitable when modelling significantly different group sizes. In the model development of dry stability the number of cross validation groups was set to eight in order to simultaneously leave both duplicates out in the cross-validation of the model. In the model development for both glass-forming ability and stability, the data were mean centered and scaled to unit variance, and variables that were skewed were excluded from the model development to not distort the models.
