Abstract

Lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS) are one of the most studied bioavailability enhancement technologies and are utilized in a number of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs. While researchers have used several general rules of thumb to predict which compounds are likely to benefit from LBDDS, formulation of lipid systems is primarily an empiric endeavor. One of the challenges is that these rules of thumb focus in different areas and are used independently of each other. The Developability Classification System attempts to link physicochemical characteristics with possible formulation strategies. Although it provides a starting point, the formulator still has to empirically develop the formulation. This article provides a review and quantitative analysis of the molecular properties of these approved drugs formulated as lipid systems and starts to build an approach that provides more directed guidance on which type of lipid system is likely to be the best for a particular drug molecule.

  • Lipid-based drug delivery systems improve oral absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs through mechanisms including increasing solubility, reducing food-induced exposure variability and improving overall intestinal uptake.

    “With numerous commercial successes, lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS) have a proven track record to improve oral absorption of poorly water-soluble drugs (PWSDs) through a variety of mechanisms including increasing solubility, reducing food-induced exposure variability and improving overall intestinal uptake (Savla et al., 2017).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
