Flip-flop Pharmacokinetics – Delivering a Reversal of Disposition: Challenges and Opportunities During Drug Development
Open accessAbstract
Flip-flop pharmacokinetics is a phenomenon often encountered with extravascularly administered drugs. Occurrence of flip-flop spans preclinical to human studies. The purpose of this article is to analyze both the pharmacokinetic interpretation errors and opportunities underlying the presence of flip-flop pharmacokinetics during drug development. Flip-flop occurs when the rate of absorption is slower than the rate of elimination. If it is not recognized, it can create difficulties in the acquisition and interpretation of pharmacokinetic parameters. When flip-flop is expected or discovered, a longer duration of sampling may be necessary in order to avoid overestimation of fraction of dose absorbed. Common culprits of flip-flop disposition are modified dosage formulations; however, formulation characteristics such as the drug chemical entities themselves or the incorporated excipients can also cause the phenomenon. Yet another contributing factor is the physiological makeup of the extravascular site of administration. In this article, these causes of flip-flop pharmacokinetics are discussed with incorporation of relevant examples and the implications for drug development outlined.

For immediate-release oral drug formulations, the absorption rate is faster than the elimination rate.
“Notably, for immediate-release oral drug formulations, the absorption rate is faster than the elimination rate [32].”
From Pharmacokinetic Characteristics of Long-Acting Injectable Antipsychotics for Schizophrenia: An Overview (2021) · cites this paper as [32]
In “Factors that affect rate constants > Drug physicochemical factors” (page not provided), the paper says GI absorption is generally believed to be faster than elimination for most immediate-release orally dosed drugs. The citing sentence omits “most” and states the relationship without qualification. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe absorption rate of LAI antipsychotics is slower than the elimination rate, resulting in 'flip-flop' kinetics, whereby the time to steady state is a function of absorption, and the concentration at steady state is a function of elimination.
“Therefore, the absorption rate of LAI antipsychotics is slower than the elimination rate, resulting in “flip-flop” kinetics, whereby the time to steady state is a function of absorption, and the concentration at steady state is a function of elimination (Fig. 1) [32, 33].”

“…by use of the very long-acting buprenorphine implant (Sixmo), 70 which exhibits flip-flop pharmacokinetics (where the absorption half-life predominates over the elimination half-life to determine duration of drug action) 71 and might allow gradual tapering by reducing the number of implants used.”

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.
