Hi all,

Question, maybe elementary but need some hints...

What factors can lead to a long Tmax like 7-8 hours? Lets say the drug 1) is BCS Class 1, 2) dissolution is completed within 1 hour (NLT 80% in 30 mins)?

1) Site specific/region specific absorption such as drug absorption does not take place until the lower part of the small intestine?
3) Saturable carrier transport?
2) Highly protein bound properties?

Thanks
John
