A Literature Review of the Physicochemical, Physiological and Pharmaceutical Considerations in GIT Absorption of Drugs.

    Oral route of drug administration is the most common among all routes and hence their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors are substantial to study. Among such factors, GIT absorption is the key factor in new drug development affecting the efficacy as well as safety of the drug. Different protocols have now been developed for the usage of in vitro also the in vivo as well as in situ methods in drug absorption determination. In this article, different mechanisms like passive diffusion, pore transport, ionic-mediated transport, endocytosis and other mechanisms involved in drug absorption will be explained. Moreover, different factors i.e. physico-chemical, pharmaceutical and physiological factors that affect drug absorption have been summarized as they play a significant role in the research studies for new drug development. Different absorption determining methods are also discussed.
