Abstract
The immobilized artificial membrane phosphatidylcholine (IAMPC) chromatography was evaluated for the predictability of oral absorption potential of 40 structurally unrelated drugs. The Chromatographic capacity factors (kIAM) were determined as a function the pH and composition of the mobile phase, and were corrected for the molar volume of the solutes (k IAM/MWn). The correlation between kIAM/MW n and the human fraction of intestinal absorption (Fa) was highest when measured at 20% acetonitrile (pH 5.5) with the power function n = 2.5. The best-fit equation for the sigmoid relationship between k IAM/MWn and Fa was obtained: Fa (%) = 94.3 × {1-exp[-17.9 × (kIAM/MW2.5) × 106]}∧2.1 (r = 0.925). This in vitro prediction method may be useful in a rapid screening of drug candidates with high oral absorption potential in humans.
