It was demonstrated [1] that flux measurements provided more in-depth understanding of supersaturated systems than solute concentration measurements alone. Such measurements were further employed to characterize and explain the differences between brand name and generic drug products that were reported from the bioequivalence studies [2]. The benefits of flux measurements were based on the fact that they captured the complex interplay between effects of formulations on solubility, dissolution rate and permeability of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). From the other hand, there has not been a predictive model that would use flux measurements directly as an input parameter for calculation of maximum absorbable dose (MAD) or fraction of the API absorbed (Fa) from an oral dosage form. This study demonstrated a feasibility of using flux measurements through artificial membrane to predict Fa values in biopharmaceutics modelling for BCS Class 2 drugs.
