![Page 3: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Oral cavity: saliva, pH around 7, ptyalin (salivary amylase), mucin
• Esophagus: pH of fluids 5-6, little drug dissolution, tablet lodging and irritation
• Stomach: innervated by the vagus nerve, local nerve plexus, hormones, mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors control gastric secretions and emptying.Fasting pH 2-6, reduced in fed to 1.5-2stomach acid secretion ِ:gastrin and histamineStomach emptying

• Doudenum: pH 6-6.5, optimum pH for enzymatic digestion of proteins and peptidespancreatic juice: enzymes: trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidases, amylase, pancreatic lipaseHigh absorption capacity
• Jejunum• Ilium

• Drug absorption in the GIT
Passive diffusion is the main mechanism
Optimum site of absorption is the doudenum
large SA, high perfusion, availability of carrier mediated absorption mechanisms
![Page 7: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Physiological Factors that Influence Drug Absorption from GIT
• GI motility: Gastric emptying time and intestinal motility
• GI perfusion
• GI secretions
• Presence of food
![Page 8: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Gastrointestinal motility
• Gastric emptying time
Rapid emptying into the stomach
Delay in gastric emptying would delay drug absorption (usually rate, possibly extent)
Very high intersubject variability
Factors that influence gastric emptying (table)

![Page 11: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Liquids and small particles: rapid emptying• Large particles: delay is usually seen (3-6 hours due to
food)• Non digestible solids: very slow emptying
Intestinal motilitySufficient residency is needed for optimum absorptionResidency is 3-4 hours, could be prolonged in fed status (8-
12 hours)Intersubject variability is lowerInfluenced by disease situationColon: 35 hours, influenced by diet
![Page 12: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Drugs may influence intestinal transit: propanthelin
Metoclopromide
Laxatives
• Disease states: Diarrhea (brief residency)
![Page 13: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Effect of food and diet on bioavailability• Alteration in the rate of gastric emptying:delay in rate of
absorption, Nitrofurantoin • Stimulation of gastric secretions• Competition between food components and drugs for
specialised absorption mechanisms• Complexion of drugs with components in the diet• Increased viscosity of GI content and reduction in
dissolution rate and diffusion to reach cell membranes
Timing of drug administration in relation to food is important
![Page 14: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Gastrointestinal pH• Intersubject variations• General health of the individual• Localized disease situations (gastric and duodenal
ulcers)• Types and amounts of food ingested• Drug therapy
Gastric pH may influence drug absorption in different ways:
• Ionisation and solubility of acids and bases• Chemical stability of drugs in low gastric pH
![Page 15: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Other gastrointestinal secretionsBile and pancreatic secretionsBile: pH 7.8-8.6
Bile salts, : bile salts, bilirubin, end products of haemoglobin break down, electrolytes, small amounts of cholesterol, phospholipids
Promote dissolution of lipophilic drugs and dosage formsPromote membrane permeability (micelle formation)Insoluble complexes (neomycin, kanamycin, vancomycin)
Pancreatic secretions• Enzymes: proteolytic activity
![Page 16: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Drug stability in GIT
• Chemical degradation.
• Gut lumen metabolism
• Gut wall metabolism
• Bacterial metabolism
• Hepatic metabolism
![Page 17: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Factors influencing first pass metabolism• Age• Liver disease• Enzyme induction and inhibition
Induction: refampicin, smokingInhibition: cimetidine
Other miscellaneous factors that influence gastrointestinal absorption
• Local disease states• Gastric surgery• Malabsorption• Chronic alcoholism• Chemotherapy
![Page 18: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
EFFECT OF DISEASE STATES ON DRUG ABSORPTION
• Parkinson’s disease• Achlorhydric patients: weak-base drugs,
dapsone, itraconazole, and ketoconazole• • Congestive heart failure: reduced splanchnic
blood flow, edema in the bowel wall

Inflammatory bowel diseases
Crohn’s disease: inflammatory disease of the distal small intestine and colon.
• Acccompanied by regions of thickening of the bowel wall, overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria, and sometimes obstruction and deterioration of the bowel.
• Effect on drug absorption is unpredictable (impaired absorption may occur)
• Higher plasma propranolol concentration
Celiac disease: inflammatory disease affecting mostly the proximal small intestine
• Increased rate of stomach emptying and increased permeability
![Page 20: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Intestinal Infections:
• Frequently cause diarrhea
• Ampicillin and nalidixic acid, oral contraceptives
![Page 21: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Gastric surgeries• Involve removal of part of the GIT: reduction
in the epithelial surface area or changes in the motility or secretory patterns
Partial gastrectomy: reduced abs of some drugs
Resection of the small intestine
Colonic resection and loss of salfasalazine activity
![Page 22: Oral Drug Absorption. Most common route of administration Anatomic and Physiologic consideration Major processes in GI: secretion, digestion and absorption.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e105503460f94afae73/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Drugs that Affect Absorption of Other Drugs
• Anticholinergics: Propantheline bromide: slow stomach emptying and motility of the small intestine.
• Tricyclic antidepressants and phenothiazines: have anticholinergic side effects
• Metoclopramide: stimulates stomach contraction, relaxes the pyloric sphincter, may reduce the effective time for the absorption, digoxin
• Antacids• Cholestyramine
