description The main aim of this work is the biopharmaceutical characterization of a new hybrid benzodiazepine-dihydropyridine derivative, JM-20, derived with potent anti-ischemic and neuroprotective effects. In this study, the p<i>K</i>a and the pH-solubility profile were experimentally determined. Additionally, effective intestinal permeability was measured using three in vitro epithelial cell lines (MDCK, MDCK-MDR1 and Caco-2) and an in situ closed-loop intestinal perfusion technique. The results indicate that JM-20 is more soluble at acidic pH (9.18 ± 0.16); however, the Dose number (Do) was greater than 1, suggesting that it is a low-solubility compound. The permeability values obtained with in vitro cell lines as well as with the in situ perfusion method show that JM-20 is a highly permeable compound (Caco-2 value 3.8 × 10<sup>−5</sup>). The presence of an absorption carrier-mediated transport mechanism was also demonstrated, as well as the efflux effect of P-glycoprotein on the permeability values. Finally, JM-20 was provisionally classified as class 2 according to the biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) due to its high intestinal permeability and low solubility. The potential good oral absorption of this compound could be limited by its solubility.
