“…Perhaps the fact that preterm infants receive virtually continuous oral feeds containing acid‐buffering milk might result in higher pH values than those seen in more mature infants. That might explain the reduced absorption of weak acids such as phenytoin because of increased ionization as well as reduced absorption of weak bases such as ketoconazole because of decreased solubility …”

“…That might explain the reduced absorption of weak acids such as phenytoin because of increased ionization 14 as well as reduced absorption of weak bases such as ketoconazole because of decreased solubility. 15 Gastric emptying and intestinal motility are the primary determinants of the rate and extent of intestinal drug absorption, and until very recently it was assumed that gastric emptying was much slower below the age of 6-8 months because of the immaturity of the neuroregulation of gastric motility. 16 This prolonged gastric emptying should result in a decreased absorption rate and a delay of absorption of drugs that are dependent on the rate and extent of gastric emptying.…”

“…These variations in pH may influence ionizable drugs, affecting absorption by changes in the relative amount of unionized drug available [30]. Lower levels of gastric pH might be involved in the enhanced bioavailability of weak bases by increasing their solubility [31,32]. Conversely, weak acids in a more acid environment are less ionized, so dissolution is decreased and absorption is thus reduced [29,32].…”

“…F a was changed from 0.9 to 0.78 to match the Cmax in individuals aged 12 to 17 years. Based on the literature, [18][19][20] it is expected that gut motility and absorption in children is slower and reduced compared with adults. AUC overprediction indicated that the current mechanistic PBPK model needs improvement for use in the specific context of pediatric PK predictions.…”
