2016:The Effects of Excipients on the Permeability of BCS Class 3 Compounds and.According to the Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) drug substances are classified to four classes upon their solubility and permeability: 1 DRUG CLASSES Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) or calcium antagonists, are among the most widely used drugs in cardiovascular medicine with roles not only in hypertension but also in angina and (for some CCBs) tachyarrhythmias. Altered disintegration time. Release rate/amount of drug in solution. Class II - high permeability, low solubility.1. Example: metoprolol, paracetamol 2 Those compounds are well absorbed and their absorption rate is usually higher than excretion. According to the Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) drug substances are classified to four classes upon their solubility and permeability: 1 Class I - high permeability, high solubility.

Example: glibenclamide, bicalutamide, ezetimibe, aceclofenac Class II - high permeability, low solubility Those compounds are well absorbed and their absorption rate is usually higher than excretion.

The absorption is limited by the permeation rate but the drug is solvated very fast. Class III - low permeability, high solubility A correlation between the in vivo bioavailability and the in vitro solvation can be found.

Alternatively non-human systems capable of predicting drug absorption in humans can be used (such as in-vitro culture methods). The volume estimate of 250 ml is derived from typical bioequivalence study protocols that prescribe administration of a drug product to fasting human volunteers with a glass of water.Permeability class boundaries are based indirectly on the extent of absorption of a drug substance in humans and directly on the measurement of rates of mass transfer across human intestinal membrane. A drug is considered highly soluble when the highest dose strength is soluble in 250 ml or less of aqueous media over the pH range of 1 to 7.5. Usually they are not well absorbed over the intestinal mucosa and a high variability is expected.The drugs are classified in BCS on the basis of solubility, permeability, and dissolution.Solubility class boundaries are based on the highest dose strength of an immediate release product. Those compounds have a poor bioavailability. Class IV - low permeability, low solubility
