JS403, Carbamoylphosphonate molecule, is a promising drug candidate with anti-metastatic activity. The polarity and
water solubility of JS403 evolve from the phosphonate moiety that is ionized at physiologic pH. JS403 is regarded as
a BCS class III molecule, and exhibit poor absolute oral bioavailability of less than 1%. The aim of this investigation
is to identify proper chitosan based absorption enhancer compound(s) that upon oral co-administration with JS403
which would enhance its bioavailability. To determine the optimal properties of the chitosan derivative (CD), 11
relevant compounds were synthesized, each with different attribute, and their impact on the intestinal permeability
of JS403 was examined in-vitro using the CaCO2 monolayer model. Then, the oral bioavailability of JS403
coadministered with the selected CD was examined i.. View more»
