1.Oral delivery of a renin inhibitor compound using emulsion formulations.
Kararli TT1, Needham TE, Griffin M, Schoenhard G, Ferro LJ, Alcorn L. Pharm Res. 1992 Jul;9(7):888-93.
The oral delivery of O-(N-morpholino-carbonyl-3-L-phenylaspartyl-L- leucinamide of (2S,3R,4S)-2-amino-1-cyclohexyl-3,4-dihydroxy-6-methylhetane (I), a new renin inhibitor, was studied in the in vivo rat model using emulsion formulations. The components of the emulsion formulations were chosen based on their proposed effects on membrane structure, membrane fluidity, and solute transport. The percent absolute bioavailability (%AB) of I was increased from 0.3% (water suspension) to 5.1% when long-chain unsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid, linoleic acid, etc.)- and mono- and diglyceride (monolein, dilaurin, etc.)-containing emulsion formulations were used. Considering very high first-pass liver extraction of the compound (80%), it is suggested that emulsion formulations increased the intestinal transport of the compound significantly. The solubility of I in aqueous media with and without bile salt (20 mM) was found to be low (approximately 1 micrograms/ml).
