[PMID: 38004572 PMCID: PMC10674549 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15112593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Permeability has an important effect on drug absorption. In this study, the effect of different concentrations of sodium sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) on the absorption of ranitidine was investigated to examine the mechanism of permeability changes. The results of a parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA) showed that increasing the concentration of sodium sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin, 0, 0.12% (w/v), 0.36% (w/v) and 3.6% (w/v), respectively, caused the apparent permeability coefficient of ranitidine to decrease to 4.62 × 10-5, 4.5 × 10-5, 3.61 × 10-5 and 1.08 × 10-5 in Caco-2 cells, respectively. The same results were obtained from an oral pharmacokinetic study in rats. Further studies indicated that SBE-β-CD significantly increased the zeta potential of ranitidine. SBE-β-CD interacted with ranitidine charges to form a complex that reduced ranitidine permeability, and SBE-β-CD should be chosen with caution for drugs with poor permeability.

Habiballah S, Reisfeld B. Adapting physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models for machine learning applications. Sci Rep 2023; 13:14934. [PMID: 37696914 PMCID: PMC10495394 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-42165-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Both machine learning and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models are becoming essential components of the drug development process. Integrating the predictive capabilities of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models within machine learning (ML) pipelines could offer significant benefits in improving the accuracy and scope of drug screening and evaluation procedures. Here, we describe the development and testing of a self-contained machine learning module capable of faithfully recapitulating summary pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters produced by a full PBPK model, given a set of input drug-specific and regimen-specific information. Because of its widespread use in characterizing the disposition of orally administered drugs, the PBPK model chosen to demonstrate the methodology was an open-source implementation of a state-of-the-art compartmental and transit model called OpenCAT. The model was tested for drug formulations spanning a large range of solubility and absorption characteristics, and was evaluated for concordance against predictions of OpenCAT and relevant experimental data. In general, the values predicted by the ML models were within 20% of those of the PBPK model across the range of drug and formulation properties. However, summary PK parameter predictions from both the ML model and full PBPK model were occasionally poor with respect to those derived from experiments, suggesting deficiencies in the underlying PBPK model.

Abstract
The workshop "Drug Permeability - Best Practices for Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) Based Biowaivers" was held virtually on December 6, 2021, organized by the University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (M-CERSI), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The workshop focused on the industrial, academic, and regulatory experiences in generating and evaluating permeability data, with the aim to further facilitate implementation of the BCS and efficient development of high-quality drug products globally. As the first international permeability workshop since the BCS based biowaivers was finalized as the ICH M9 guideline, the workshop included lectures, panel discussions, and breakout sessions. Lecture and panel discussion topics covered case studies at IND, NDA, and ANDA stages, typical deficiencies relating to permeability assessment supporting BCS biowaiver, types of evidence that are available to demonstrate high permeability, method suitability of a permeability assay, impact of excipients, importance of global acceptance of permeability methods, opportunities to expand the use of biowaivers (e.g. non-Caco-2 cell lines, totality-of-evidence approach to demonstrate high permeability) and future of permeability testing. Breakout sessions focused on 1) in vitro and in silico intestinal permeability methods; 2) potential excipient effects on permeability and; 3) use of label and literature data to designate permeability class.

Biowaiver Monograph for Immediate-Release Dosage Forms: Levamisole Hydrochloride. J Pharm Sci 2023; 112:634-639.

Abstract
This work describes the potential applicability of the BCS-based Biowaiver to oral solid dosage forms containing Levamisole hydrochloride, an anthelmintic drug on the WHO List of Essential Medicines. Solubility and permeability data of levamisole hydrochloride were searched in the literature and/or measured experimentally. Levamisole hydrochloride is a highly soluble drug, but there is no clear evidence of high permeability in humans, indicating that it should provisionally be assigned to BCS class III. The biowaiver procedure would thus be applicable for solid oral dosage forms containing levamisole hydrochloride as the only active ingredient. Due to the lack of data in the literature regarding excipient effects on the bioequivalence of products containing levamisole, it is currently recommended that the products comply with the ICH and WHO guidelines: the test formulation should have the same qualitative composition as the comparator, contain very similar quantities of those excipients, and be very rapidly dissolving at pH 1.2, 4.5, and 6.8. However, for certain well-studied excipients, there appears to be opportunity for additional regulatory relief in future versions of the ICH BCS Guidance M9, such as not requiring that the quantities of these common excipients in the test and comparator be the same.

Abstract
Oral drug absorption is known to be impacted by the physicochemical properties of drugs, properties of oral formulations, and physiological characteristics of the intestine. The goal of the present study was to develop a mathematical model to predict the impact of particle size, feeding time, and intestinal transporter activity on oral absorption. A previously published rat continuous intestine absorption model was extended for solid drug absorption. The impact of active pharmaceutical ingredient particle size was evaluated with glyburide (GLY) as a model drug. Two particle size suspensions of glyburide were prepared with average particle sizes of 42.7 and 4.1 μm. Each suspension was dosed as a single oral gavage to male Sprague Dawley rats, and concentration-time (C-t) profiles of glyburide were measured with liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. A continuous rat intestine absorption model was extended to include drug dissolution and was used to predict the absorption kinetics of GLY depending on particle size. Additional literature datasets of rat GLY formulations with particle sizes ranging from 0.25 to 4.0 μm were used for model predictions. The model predicted reasonably well the absorption profiles of GLY based on varying particle size and varying feeding time. The model predicted inhibition of intestinal uptake or efflux transporters depending on the datasets. The three datasets used formulations with different excipients, which may impact the transporter activity. Model simulations indicated that the model provides a facile framework to predict the impact of transporter inhibition on drug C-t profiles. Model simulations can also be conducted to evaluate the impact of an altered intestinal lumen environment. In conclusion, the rat continuous intestine absorption model may provide a useful tool to predict the impact of varying drug formulations on rat oral absorption profiles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral suspensions are heterogeneous disperse systems, and the particle size distribution, crystalline form of the dispersed solid, and composition of the formulation can be listed as parameters that control the drug dissolution rate and its bioavailability. OBJECTIVE The aim of this work was to develop a discriminative dissolution test, which, in association with in silico methodologies, can make it possible to safely anticipate bioavailability problems. METHODS Nimesulide and ibuprofen (BCS class II) and cephalexin (BCS class I) oral suspensions were studied. Previously, solid-state structure and particle size in active pharmaceutical ingredients were characterized and the impact of differences on solubility was evaluated for the choice of discriminative medium. Afterwards, particle size distribution (0.1 to 360 μm), dissolution profile, and in vitro permeability in Caco-2 cell of commercial suspensions, were determined. These parameters were used as input for the establishment of the in vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) for the suspensions using the GastroPlus™ with Wagner-Nelson and Loo- Riegelmann deconvolution approach. RESULTS The predicted/observed pharmacokinetic model showed good correlation coefficients (r) of 0.960, 0.950, and 0.901, respectively. The IVIVC was established for one nimesulide and two ibuprofen suspensions with r between 0.956 and 0.932, and the percent prediction error (%PE) did not exceed 15%. CONCLUSION In this work, we have performed a complete study combining in vitro/in silico approaches with the aim of anticipating the safety and efficacy of oral pharmaceutical suspensions in order to provide a regulatory tool for this category of products in a faster and more economical way.

Abstract
Recently, two oral-administered peptide pharmaceuticals, semaglutide and octreotide, have been developed and are considered as a breakthrough in peptide and protein drug delivery system development. In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an oral dosage form of semaglutide developed by Novo Nordisk (Rybelsus®) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Subsequently, the octreotide capsule (Mycapssa®), developed through Chiasma's Transient Permeation Enhancer (TPE) technology, also received FDA approval in 2020 for the treatment of acromegaly. These two oral peptide products have been a significant success; however, a major obstacle to their oral delivery remains the poor permeability of peptides through the intestinal epithelium. Therefore, gastrointestinal permeation enhancers are of great relevance for the development of subsequent oral peptide products. Sodium salcaprozate (SNAC) and sodium caprylate (C8) have been used as gastrointestinal permeation enhancers for semaglutide and octreotide, respectively. Herein, we briefly review two approved products, Rybelsus® and Mycapssa®, and discuss the permeation properties of SNAC and medium chain fatty acids, sodium caprate (C10) and C8, focusing on Eligen technology using SNAC, TPE technology using C8, and gastrointestinal permeation enhancement technology (GIPET) using C10.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite no broad, direct evidence in humans, there is a potential concern that surfactants alter active or passive drug intestinal permeation to modulate oral drug absorption. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the surfactant polysorbate 80 on active and passive intestinal drug absorption in humans. METHODS The human (n = 12) pharmacokinetics (PK) of three probe substrates of intestinal absorption, valacyclovir, chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), and enalaprilat, were assessed. Endogenous bile acid levels were assessed as a secondary measure of transporter and microbiota impact. RESULTS Polysorbate 80 did not inhibit peptide transporter 1 (PepT1)- or apical sodium bile acid transporter (ASBT)-mediated PK of valacyclovir and CDCA, respectively. Polysorbate 80 did not increase enalaprilat absorption. Modest increases in unconjugated secondary bile acid Cmax ratios suggest a potential alteration of the in vivo intestinal microbiota by polysorbate 80. CONCLUSIONS Polysorbate 80 did not alter intestinal membrane fluidity or cause intestinal membrane disruption. This finding supports regulatory relief of excipient restrictions for Biopharmaceutics Classification System-based biowaivers.

Abstract
The Biopharmaceutics Drug Disposition Classification system (BDDCS) is a four-class approach based on water solubility and extent of metabolism/permeability rate. Based on the BDDCS class to which a drug is assigned, it is possible to predict the role of metabolic enzymes and transporters on the drug disposition of a new molecular entity (NME) prior to its administration to animals or humans. Here, we report a total of 1475 drugs and active metabolites to which the BDDCS is applied. Of these, 379 are new entries, and 1096 are revisions of former classification studies with the addition of references for the approved maximum dose strength, extent of the systemically available drug excreted unchanged in the urine, and lowest solubility over the pH range 1.0–6.8 when such information is available in the literature. We detail revised class assignments of previously misclassified drugs and the literature analyses to classify new drugs. We review the process of solubility assessment for NMEs prior to drug dosing in humans and approved dose classification, as well as the comparison of Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) versus BDDCS assignment. We detail the uses of BDDCS in predicting, prior to dosing animals or humans, disposition characteristics, potential brain penetration, food effect, and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) potential. This work provides an update on the current status of the BDDCS and its uses in the drug development process.
