Abstract:
In vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) is a biopharmaceutical tool recommended to be used in development of formulation. When validated, it can speed up development of formulation, be used to fix dissolution limits and also as surrogate of in vivo study. However, as do all tools, it presents limitations and traps. The aim of the present paper is to investigate five common traps which could limit either the setting or use of IVIVC (1) using mean or individual values; (2) correction of absolute bioavailability; (3) correction of lag time and time scaling; (4) flip-flop model; and (5) predictability corrections.

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In vitro
The diffusion cell method uses a two-compartment cell, including a donor compartment with the drug solution, which simulates the environment where the drug is applied, and a receptor compartment with a buffer solution, which simulates the environment...
Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
