With the increasing number of poorly water soluble drug compounds under development, the pharmaceutical industry is being challenged to find appropriate formulation strategies and technologies for achieving pharmacologically relevant absorption and/or bioavailability of such compounds. One such strategy is the use of lipid-based drug delivery systems to overcome the barriers that inhibit drug absorption. This oral presentation will discuss the mechanisms by which lipids over come these biological barriers and thus enhance the absorption and bioavailability of such drug compounds.
