Abstract

In this work, two different approaches have been developed to predict the food effect and the bioequivalence of marketed itraconazole (ITRA) formulations. Kinetic solubility and simultaneous dissolution–permeation tests of three (ITRA) formulations (Sporanox capsules and solution and SUBA-ITRA capsules) were carried out in simulated fasted and fed states. Fraction of dose absorbed ratios estimating food effect and bioequivalence were calculated based on these results and were compared to the in vivo study results published by Medicines Agencies. The comparison demonstrated that kinetic solubility and flux values could be used as input parameters for biopharmaceutics modeling and simulations to estimate food effect and bioequivalence. Both prediction methods were able to determine a slightly negative food effect in the case of the Sporanox solution and also a pronounced positive food effect for the Sporanox capsule. Superior bioavailability was predicted when the Sporanox solution was compared to the Sporanox capsule (in agreement with in vivo data).
