Oral route of drug administration is the most common among all routes and hence their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors are substantial to study. Among such factors, GIT absorption is the key factor in new drug development affecting the efficacy as well as safety of the drug. Different protocols have now been developed for the usage of in vitro also the in vivo as well as in situ methods in drug absorption determination. In this article, different mechanisms like passive diffusion, pore transport, ionic-mediated transport, endocytosis and other mechanisms involved in drug absorption will be explained. Moreover, different factors i.e. physico-chemical, pharmaceutical and physiological factors that affect drug absorption have been summarized as they play a significant role in the research studies for new drug development. Different absorption determining methods are also discussed.

The objective of this study was to create 3D engineered tissue models to accelerate identification of safe and efficacious breast cancer drug therapies. It is expected that this platform will dramatically reduce the time and costs associated with development and regulatory approval of anti-cancer therapies, currently a multi-billion dollar endeavor [1]. Existing two-dimensional (2D) in vitro and in vivo animal studies required for identification of effective cancer therapies account for much of the high costs of anti-cancer medications and health insurance premiums borne by patients, many of whom cannot afford it. An emerging paradigm in pharmaceutical drug development is the use of three-dimensional (3D) cell/biomaterial models that will accurately screen novel therapeutic compounds, repurpose existing compounds and terminate ineffective ones. In particular, identification of effective chemotherapies for breast cancer are anticipated to occur more quickly in 3D in vitro models than 2D in vitro environments and in vivo animal models, neither of which accurately mimic natural human tumor environments [2]. Moreover, these 3D models can be multi-cellular and designed with extracellular matrix (ECM) function and mechanical properties similar to that of natural in vivo cancer environments [3].

Purpose: The preclinical evaluation of 3-l- and 3-d-[18F]FPhe in comparison to [18F]FET, an established tracer for tumor imaging. Methods: In vitro studies were conducted with MCF-7, PC-3, and U87 MG human tumor cell lines. In vivo µPET studies were conducted in healthy rats with/without the inhibition of peripheral aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase by benserazide pretreatment (n = 3 each), in mice bearing subcutaneous MCF-7 or PC-3 tumor xenografts (n = 10), and in rats bearing orthotopic U87 MG tumor xenografts (n = 14). Tracer accumulation was quantified by SUVmax, SUVmean and tumor-to-brain ratios (TBrR). Results: The uptake of 3-l-[18F]FPhe in MCF-7 and PC-3 cells was significantly higher relative to [18F]FET. The uptake of all three tracers was significantly reduced by the suppression of amino acid transport systems L or ASC. 3-l-[18F]FPhe but not 3-d-[18F]FPhe exhibited protein incorporation. In benserazide-treated healthy rats, brain uptake after 42–120 min was significantly higher for 3-d-[18F]FPhe vs. 3-l-[18F]FPhe. [18F]FET showed significantly higher uptake into subcutaneous MCF-7 tumors (52–60 min p.i.), while early uptake into orthotopic U87 MG tumors was significantly higher for 3-l-[18F]FPhe (SUVmax: 3-l-[18F]FPhe, 107.6 ± 11.3; 3-d-[18F]FPhe, 86.0 ± 4.3; [18F]FET, 90.2 ± 7.7). Increased tumoral expression of LAT1 and ASCT2 was confirmed immunohistologically. Conclusion: Both novel tracers enable accurate tumor delineation with an imaging quality comparable to [18F]FET.
