Case Study
Helping Pfizer accelerate development of novel COVID-19 oral antiviral drug PAXLOVID
PAXLOVID is the world's first FDA-approved oral COVID-19 drug developed by Pfizer and sold around the world. To expedite the development of PAXLOVID (PF-07321332), Pfizer and XtalPi worked closely together, combining XtalPi's digital prediction algorithm and experimental validation. It took only six weeks for the teams to complete mutual validation and precise matching of drug crystal structure prediction against the experimental results, making possible the subsequent development and production.
XtalPi's computational prediction provided powerful evidence of the crystal structure designed by Pfizer being the most stable crystal structure under room temperature, thus making it suitable for scale-up and production. In this way CMC scientists were able to rapidly make research decisions and begin the process without delay.
As an oral drug, PAXLOVID was developed in solid state to facilitate storage and transportation. Patients can self-administer the drug at home, leading to greater compliance, thus helping to alleviate the tremendous strain on the medical system at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
