 In the physical sciences, a partition
coefficient (P) is the ratio of concentrations of
a compound in a mixture of
two immiscible solvents at equilibrium. The
partition coefficient generally refers to the
concentration ratio of un-ionized species of
compound, whereas the distribution
coefficient refers to the concentration ratio of
all species of the compound (ionized plus un-
ionized).
 For drug delivery, the lipophilic/hydrophilic
balance has been shown to be a contributing
factor for the rate and extent of drug
absorption.
 Since biological membrane is lipoidal in
nature the rate of drug transfer for passively
absorbed drugs is directly related the
lipophilicity of the molecule.
 Class I
◦ Example: metoprolol, paracetamol
 Class II
◦ Example: glibenclamide,
bicalutamide, ezetimibe, aceclofenac
 Class III
◦ Example: cimetidine
 Class IV
◦ Example: Bifonazole, amphotericin B, furosemide,
acetazolamide, ritonavir, paclitaxe.
 pKa < 3 is for a strong acid
 3<pKa<7 is for a weak acid
 7<pKa<11 is for a weak base
 pKa>11 is for a strong base
 Paracetamol- It has a pKa value of 9.5 and is
therefore largely unionized over the
physiological range of pH.
 LogP - 0.46
 Aceclofenac LogP - 2.17
 pKa. : 4.7
 Cimetidine is weakly basic with the pKa
values reported as 6.93.
 LogP- 0.4
 Acetazolamide
pKa- 7.93
 LogP -0.26
 Since majority of the drugs are either weakly
acidic or basic, their solution in water contain
ionised and unionised species.
 The drug undergoes dissociation in their
aqueous solutions. The extent of ionisation
depends upon the pH of the solution. For
example a weak acid will ionise mostly in
alkaline pH while a weakly basic will ionise in
acidic medium. The unionised drug is more
lipid soluble and thus readily absorbed.
 Hence gastrointestinal absorption of a drug
can be improved if the extent of ionisation is
reduced. The absorption of weakly acidic or
basic can be influenced by the following:
1. pH at the site of absorption.
2. Dissociation constant
3. Lipid solubility of unionised drugs
 The contents of the stomach have pH ranging
from 1-3.
 Weakly acidic drugs having pKa value less
than 4.3 were absorbed faster. Strongly acidic
drugs were almost not absorbed.
 pH of intestinal fluid ranges from 5-8.
 In case of basic drugs absorption is faster for
those having pKa values less than 8.5 than
those having pKa values between 9-12
 Thank You
