Hi everyone,

Assuming a drug which is highly soluble and permable (BCS 1). The IR %release In-vitro is NLT 85% by 15-30 mins, yet the in-vivo Tmax is 4 hours (that's the minimum, some subjects have 10. Average is 6). Half-life of drug is 20-30 hours and it's ~ 85% protein bound. What factors contribute to ths long Tmax? Tissue distribution is obvious.

Thanks

John
