Journal ArticleDOI

A peptide prodrug approach for improving bisphosphonate oral absorption.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the oral absorption of bisphosphonates can be improved by peptidyl prodrugs via the hPEPT1; however, other transporters may also be involved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple efflux pumps are involved in the transepithelial transport of colchicine: combined effect of p-glycoprotein and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 leads to decreased intestinal absorption throughout the entire small intestine.

TL;DR: It was revealed that the combined effect of P-gp and MRP2, but not BCRP, dominates colchicine transepithelial transport, leading to complete coverage of the entire small intestine, and makes the efflux transport dominate the intestinal permeability process.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Permeability Criterion for BCS Classification: Segmental/pH Dependent Permeability Considerations

TL;DR: It is shown that, in fact, there is no discrepancy between P(eff) and F(abs) in sotalol's absorption; the data emphasize that, if a compound has high fraction of dose absorbed, it will have high-permeability, not necessarily in the jejunum, but at some point along the relevant intestinal regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanistic investigation of food effect on disintegration and dissolution of BCS class III compound solid formulations: the importance of viscosity.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrated that the increase in viscosity of the dissolution medium, following ingestion of a solid meal, may drastically reduce disintegration and dissolution and show the necessity of considering media viscosities when designing in vitro models of drug release for BCS type III drug formulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

G.L. Amidon, H. Lennernas, V.P. Shah, and J.R. Crison. A Theoretical Basis for a Biopharmaceutic Drug Classification: The Correlation of In Vitro Drug Product Dissolution and In Vivo Bioavailability, Pharm Res 12, 413–420, 1995—Backstory of BCS

TL;DR: The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) has become widely accepted today in the academic, industrial, and regulatory world and has come to be utilized widely by the pharmaceutical industry in drug discovery and development as well.
