Summary:

Correlation analysis between food effects on oral drug absorption (food effect) and physicochemical properties is important for efficient drug discovery and contributes to drug design. This study focused on micelle binding and solubilization considering bile micelles in the intestinal fluid. Profiling using about 40 launched drugs demonstrated that those in a high solubilization area (area 1) tended to have a positive food effect, and that drugs exhibiting negative/no food effect tended to coexist in a no/low solubilization area (area 2). In area 1, the solubilization effect by bile micelles was demonstrated quantitatively as an important factor that indicates a positive food effect. In area 2, the relative and quantitative relationships among the membrane permeation rate, dissolution rate, micelle binding and food effect could be clarified by simulation. The improvement of membrane permeability and the suppression of micelle binding are considered to be required to avoid a negative food effect. In conclusion, important factors contributing to the food effect were clarified relatively and quantitatively. Data generated from this profiling may be beneficial to find a solution for negative food effects. Furthermore, this risk assessment of food effects is considered to be a useful tool in rational drug design for drug discovery.

      This finding correlates well to the Fleisher et al. summary of FE prediction based on BCS class where Class 3 drugs, of poor permeability and good solubility, are likely to exhibit negative FE (Fleisher et al., 1999). Such negative FE were previously associated with highly hydrophilic drugs displaying a narrow window of absorption (Kawai et al., 2011, Gu et al., 2007). Dose was also a significant parameter in classify drugs by FE on AUC.

      Throughout the manuscript we are using the terms “MIM interacting drugs” or “MIM non-interacting drugs” to indicate the interaction of drugs with TC/L MIM. The flux across these artifical membranes has been previously correlated to bioavailability [49–51]. The outcome of our experiments led to a preliminary decision tree by which drug substances are firstly categorized in those for which interaction with bile colloids is critical or not.

      However, this is not the case for this study, since FeSSIF simply contains NaTC and lecithin as 5-times higher concentration than FaSSIF [24–26]. The possible reasons of reduced BA of sesamin when administered with FeSSIF have not been clarified yet, however, the direct interaction of sesamin with bile acid (NaTC) or lipid (lecithin) in FeSSIF is most conceivable [35]. In addition, entrapment in the mixed micelles of bile acids/lecithin is also the possible factor because it might reduce the free fraction of sesamin in the GI tract.
