Abstract
The particle drifting effect, where nanosized colloidal drug particles overcome the diffusional resistance of the aqueous boundary layer adjacent to the intestinal wall and increase drug absorption rates, is drawing increasing attention in pharmaceutical research. However, mechanistic understanding and accurate prediction of the particle drifting effect remain lacking. In this study, we systematically evaluated the extent of the particle drifting effect affected by drug and colloidal properties, including the size, number, and type of the moving species using biphasic diffusion experiments combined with computational fluid dynamics simulations and mass transport analyses. The results showed that the particle drifting effect is a sequential reaction of particle dissolution/dissociation in the diffusional boundary layer, followed by absorption of the free drug. Therefore, factors affecting the rate-limiting step, which can be either process or both under different circumstances, alter the particle drifting effect. Experimental results also agree with the theory that the particle dissolution rate is dependent on particle size, concentration, and drug solubility. In addition, rapid bile micelle dissociation and bile salt absorption facilitated drug absorption by the particle drifting effect. Our findings explain the highly dynamic nature of the particle drifting effect and will contribute to rational formulation development and better bioavailability prediction for formulations containing colloidal particles.
