Understanding peroral absorption: regulatory aspects and contemporary approaches to tackling solubility and permeability hurdles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oral drug absorption is a process influenced by the physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties of the drug and its inter-relationship with the gastrointestinal tract. Drug solubility, dissolution and permeability across intestinal barrier are the key parameters controlling absorption. This review provides an overview of the factors that affect drug absorption and the classification of a drug on the basis of solubility and permeability. The biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) was introduced in early 90׳s and is a regulatory tool used to predict bioavailability problems associated with a new entity, thereby helping in the development of a drug product. Strategies to combat solubility and permeability issues are also discussed.

Modeling and Monte Carlo simulations in oral drug absorption.
Drug dissolution, release and uptake are the principal components of oral drug absorption. All these processes take place in the complex milieu of the gastrointestinal tract and they are influenced by physiological (e.g. intestinal pH, transit time) and physicochemical factors (e.g. dose, particle size, solubility, permeability). Due to the enormous complexity issues involved, the models develo...
متن کاملDecision trees to characterise the roles of permeability and solubility on the prediction of oral absorption.
Oral absorption of compounds depends on many physiological, physiochemical and formulation factors. Two important properties that govern oral absorption are in vitro permeability and solubility, which are commonly used as indicators of human intestinal absorption. Despite this, the nature and exact characteristics of the relationship between these parameters are not well understood. In this stu...
متن کاملFrom Temporality to Eternity: Three Philosophical Approaches
This article studies the problem of eternal life from a philosophical perspective. It focuses on the approaches of Bergson, Husserl, and Heidegger from contemporary philosophy, and shows that using these three philosophical approaches can better explain certain aspects of revealed theology, such as resurrection of flesh, eternity in a transcendent dimension, and eternal life as the angels in he...
متن کاملIntroducing a Conceptual Policymaking Model for Tackling Obesity among the Military Personnel of Islamic Republic of Iran
Background and Aim: This study is an epistemological account of the collective nature of the problem of obesity prevalence among the military personnel that by reflecting on the existing knowledge and current and future paths that lead to obesity in the military personnel, we sought to give a conceptual model policymaking for tackling obesity. The prevalence of obesity is a serious challenge fo...
متن کاملExperimental and computational approaches to estimate solubility and permeability in drug discovery and development q settings
Experimental and computational approaches to estimate solubility and permeability in discovery and development settings are described. In the discovery setting ‘the rule of 5’ predicts that poor absorption or permeation is more likely when there are more than 5 H-bond donors, 10 H-bond acceptors, the molecular weight (MWT) is greater than 500 and the calculated Log P (CLogP) is greater than 5 (...
