Effect of bicarbonate buffer on artificial membrane permeation of drugs
Background and purpose: The pH value of the small intestine is physiologically maintained by bicarbonate buffer (BCB). However, the effect of BCB on the membrane permeation of drugs has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of BCB on the passive membrane per...

Background and purpose: The pH value of the small intestine is physiologically maintained by bicarbonate buffer (BCB). However, the effect of BCB on the membrane permeation of drugs has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of BCB on the passive membrane permeation of drugs. Experimental approach: The μFlux apparatus (pION Inc.) was used for permeability measurements. To avoid a pH change of BCB, a floating lid was newly developed for μFlux. The membrane filter was coated with a 10 % soybean lecithin-decane solution. The flux measurement was performed in an iso-pH condition (pH 6.5, BCB = 10 mM, buffer capacity ()= 4.4 mM pH-1). Phosphate buffer (PPB) with the same pH and β was used for comparison (PPB = 8 mM). Key results: The floating lid suppressed the pH increase to less than 0.1 for 120 min. The effective permeability (Pe) values of lipophilic weakly acidic and basic drugs were lower in BCB than in PPB (ketoprofen, naproxen, and propranolol). On the other hand, the Pe values in BCB and PPB were similar for unionizable drugs (caffeine and antipyrine) and hydrophilic weakly basic drugs (metoprolol and procainamide). Conclusion: Passive membrane permeation of lipophilic weakly acidic and basic drugs was slower in BCB than in PPB. This was suggested to be attributed to the slow neutralization rate of BCB, which affects the pH value adjacent to the membrane surface.
