Study Notes
Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS)
- The BCS is based on solubility and permeability.
- Class I drugs have high solubility and high permeability.
Drug Solubility
- A drug is defined as 'poorly water soluble' if the highest dose strength is not soluble in 250 mL or less of aqueous media over the pH range of 1.0 to 7.5.
- Poorly soluble drugs pose significant problems for oral drug delivery.
Class II Drugs
- Have low solubility and high permeability.
- Absorption is limited by solubility.
Class I Drugs
- Absorption is limited by permeability.
Drug Delivery Formulations
- Lipid nanoparticles are used for preparing various lipophilic drugs.
- Micronization is used for enhancing the absorption of poorly soluble drugs.
- Poorly soluble drugs require special formulation methods to enhance solubility.
Bioavailability Studies
- In the Steroid Oral BA study in rats, micromization was found to be important for the absorption of the drug.
- In the BA study of lipophilic pro-drugs of phenytoin in rats, a 4-fold increase in bioavailability was observed when the drug was given in a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) compared to the solution of phenytoin sodium.
- In the BA study of the antimalarial amine in beagle dogs, a 4-fold increase in bioavailability was observed when the drug was given in a lipid nanoparticle formulation compared to the standard capsule.
Drug Development Statistics
- Approximately 40% of new drugs are classified as poorly soluble based on the therapeutic area.
