Correlations between in vitro dissolution and in vivo oral BA.

Notes: (A) DE for 2 h in vitro versus AUC0–24 in vivo; (B) DEC in vitro versus AEC in vivo. ●, VST powder; △, SMEDDS (320 mg); ■, S-SMEDDS_LQ; ◇, S-SMEDDS_RQ. Values are presented as mean ± SD (n=3–7).

Abbreviations: AEC, dissolution enhancing capacity per unit quantity; AUC, area under the curve; BA, bioavailability; DE, dissolution efficiency; DEC, dissolution enhancing capacity per unit quantity; SMEDDS, self-microemulsifying drug delivery system; S-SMEDDS_LQ, supersaturable self-microemulsifying drug delivery system in large quantity; S-SMEDDS_RQ, supersaturable self-microemulsifying drug delivery system in reduced quantity; SD, standard deviation; VST, valsartan.
