How and Where are Drugs Absorbed?

Abstract: A drug must interact with its receptors at their action sites or therapeutic target to exert its pharmacological or toxic effects. Therefore, the absorption of drug is an essential step which determines pharmacologic effects of drug. This article focuses on the biological barriers that the drug must cross in order to enter the body, drug absorption mechanisms, and influence of physiological characteristics of the administration route on absorption rate and extent.

“…Bioavailability is a measurement of the rate and extent of the active drug that reaches systemic circulation. ( 68 ) Animal bioavailability is an important parameter to consider when preparing new forms of a compound, and studies can be set up in a number of different ways to obtain specific information for development. Species for animal studies can include rodents, rabbits, dogs, pigs, and primates.…”

“…On the other hand, active transport requires energy to transport the drugs into the cell. Active transport is selective and may involve the transport of drugs against the concentration gradient—for example, from a low concentration side to a high concentration side [109]. Active transport usually occurs with endogenous substances such as vitamins, sugars and amino acids.…”

“…Here, we report bioanalytical methods to characterize 5-LIO(Me-3,2-HOPO) and 3,4,3-LI(1,2-HOPO) in rat plasma and describe the pharmacokinetics of the free acid and four salt forms of each ligand after a single intravenous (iv) or oral (po) administration in rats. Both APIs are amorphous and poorly soluble in their free acid forms, and little effort had been made to investigate formal crystallization procedures and solid-state characterization, as well as the effect of the solid-state form on the bioavailability of the APIs [11,12]. This work therefore imparted a reproducible analytical method for the pharmacological characterization of 5-LIO(Me-3,2-HOPO) and 3,4,3-LI(1,2-HOPO), and provided the data necessary to select the appropriate solid form of each API for further development, based on bioavailability.…”
