Biopharmaceuticals, medium- and high-molecular weight biologically active macromolecules, are not easily absorbed by the small intestine, the main organ responsible for gastrointestinal absorption, ...
The permeability of biological membranes is a key determinant of drug pharmacokinetics. Historically, passive diffusion through the lipid bilayer portion of a biological membrane was suggested as the ...
NEW ORLEANS–Optimal lowering of serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels requires blocking all its sources. Although statin drugs block its synthesis in the liver, they do not address ...
The authors examine an oral-absorption-enhancement technology based on surface-active materials to increase apical membrane fluidity in vitro. Intestinal-absorption enhancers to improve the oral ...
A recent study by researchers from St. John’s Medical College in Bengaluru and Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Health and Research in New Delhi has dispelled a decades-long dogma regarding the absorption ...
