Selection of In Vivo Relevant Dissolution Test Parameters for the Development of Cannabidiol Formulations with Enhanced Oral Bioavailability by Nathan Koch, Quentin Bourcy, Olivier Jennotte, Patrice Chiap, Anna Lechanteur, Jean-Michel Cardot, Brigitte Evrard

“…Neutral media enabled a relatively good prediction of the extent of absorption observed in vivo, whereas the rate of absorption was more complicated to predict. <b>Conclusions:</b> FeSSIF media, and FaSSIF sink media to a lesser extent, were the only compositions enabling predictions of both extent and rate, indicating that emulsification is possibly a major contributor to the in vivo availability of the drug.…”
