Evaluation of Ion-pair Formation of Adefovir to Improve Permeation across Artificial and Biological Membranes

Purpose: Adefovir is an antiviral drug that exhibits high hydrophilic properties and negligible bioavailability (less than 12%). It is only applied in the form of the ester prodrug adefovir dipivoxil (ADV). The oral bioavailability of ADV is limited (32% to 45%) by its low permeability (Class 3) and...
