This is accomplished in the ipped classroom course by assigning real-life prob­lems that the students must strategically evaluate and solve using the pharmaceutics­related knowledge acquired through their independent reading or team research conducted during class. Students must master the “Pharmaceutics” portal and gain the skills to effectively use and cite the literature to support their answers.
1.4 Specic “Flipped Class” Structure—How toImplement
In the rst class of ipped pharmaceutics, we introduce discipline-specic informa­tion resources during an interactive tutorial session. Students participate in an instructor-guided case study, in which they are provided hands-on training and opportunities to practice accessing and retrieving specialized scientic information from a variety of online resources (e.g., United States Pharmacopeia/National Formulary Online), drug substance databases (e.g., TOXNET, Reaxys), package inserts (e.g., DailyMed), and patents (e.g., US Patent and Trademark Ofce, US Food and Drug Administration Orange Book, US Food and Drug Administration Purple Book, Google Patents). At this point, students are introduced to the Pharmaceutics Web Portal, which consolidates these various drug product resources

into a student-friendly course guide. Figure1.2 provides a graphic overview of how the typical ipped pharmaceutics class is conducted after this initial introductory session.
One week prior to the class meeting time, students are given a pre-reading assign­ment consisting primarily of reading and understanding a specic chapter from this book. Most individual chapters serve as a separate module. Students gain additional experience in accessing drug information and related resources by occasionally accessing and reading research articles and review papers relevant to the topic of the upcoming case study. A list of relevant papers is included at the end of each chapter of this book to provide examples of possible “prereading assignments” for instruc­tors who wish to implement their own ipped-classroom model. Additionally, a list of learning objectives is provided to guide at-home study, which are incorporated into each chapter of this text.
For example, at the start of the class, students are given two assessments, the Cumulative Exam (explained above) and the Readiness Assessment quiz. These assessments ensure that students are motivated to review their last week’s case stud­ies and to complete the prereading assignments. Based on the results of the Readiness Assessment quiz, the instructors can determine which concepts require further

review and explanation before starting the case studies. Following these tests, a mini-lecture is typically given to students to provide context to the products featured in the case studies.
The teams then begin work on the product case study, which was provided in the form of a structured worksheet, typically with six to seven multipart questions cov­ering various aspects of the drug product design and key pharmaceutical concepts. Each case study is focused on a marketed drug product that students will likely encounter in their professional careers. These case studies are designed in the fol­lowing general topics based on real-world examples:
• Question 1—Understanding the problem that existed and needed to be solved for
this particular drug substance or disease state using pharmaceutics approaches.
• Questions 2 and 3—Gathering data on physicochemical properties and charac-
teristics of the drug and excipients.
• Questions 4 and 5—Synthesize foundational knowledge and new information to
understand formulation and drug delivery system properties.
• Questions 6 and 7—Applying new pharmaceutics understanding to answer clini-
cal pharmacy questions related to pharmaceutics principles.
During the course of the case study, instructors meet individually with teams to provide guidance through areas of difculty. Structured and ad hoc breaks are taken to review concepts with the entire class. During these breaks, teams are regularly called upon to provide answers to questions regarding their drug product design assignments. Finally, drug product design assignment questions are formatted to emphasize keywords that can be helpful for students when optimizing search strate­gies. As the semester progresses, this format is dropped to allow students to deter­mine their own keywords.
1.5 Flipped Pharmaceutics—A Pathway toSuccess
The rst PharmD cohort to participate in our ipped-classroom model graduated in
2017. North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) rst-time attempt pass rate for UTCOP that year was 95%, compared to a national average of 88%. We have worked to improve our course each year it is taught, and this is reected in the 2022 rst-attempt NAPLEX pass rate for UTCOP, which was 87%, compared to a national average of 80%.
In addition to providing a solid foundation for prospective clinical pharmacists, we have also had great success in utilizing our course to teach rst-year PhD stu­dents in the University of Texas at Austin’s Molecular Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery program. Our students have reported that the integration of information literacy skill building in the course has improved their condence and performance in effectively and efciently solving patient-health-related and pharmaceutics­related problems.

2.1 Introduction

Biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics are important areas of research related to the design of drug products. As such, a brief review of these concepts is presented herein to provide context for this course. Biopharmaceutics, as dened by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is a broad-based scientic discipline that studies the effect and interplay of the physicochemical properties of a drug, its dosage form, and the intended route of administration on the rate and extent of the drug’s absorp­tion. In practical terms, it refers to the study of the physicochemical properties of drugs and their dosage forms and delivery route of administration as it relates to the onset, duration, and intensity of drug action. Pharmacokinetics is dened as the study of the movement of drugs in the body over time. It is colloquially referred to as “what the body does to the drug.” The four main parameters generally considered in pharmacokinetics are absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). In terms of pharmacokinetic analysis, absorption refers to the movement of the drug from the site of administration into the systemic circulation. Distribution refers to the movement of the drug between the intravascular (blood/plasma) and extravascular (intracellular and extracellular) compartments of the body. Over time,

drugs within the circulation are metabolized and excreted from the body by the liver and kidneys.
Bioavailability, as described by the FDA for a given formulation, means to pro­vide an estimate of the relative fraction of the orally administered dose that is absorbed into systemic circulation and can be measured by comparing a systemic exposure prole to that of a suitable reference product. In practice, it is described as the rate and extent to which the active drug or moiety is absorbed from a drug prod­uct and becomes available at the site of action. Bioavailability encompasses phar­macokinetic concepts of absorption, distribution, and metabolism, as this will impact drug availability at the site of action (see Fig.2.1). Metabolism can precede distribution and reduce bioavailability, such as the case with rst-pass metabolism of certain drugs in the liver when administered via the oral route. Protein binding can also impact availability of the drug at its target site of action. Many drugs revers­ibly bind to albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein in the plasma. The propensity toward this binding is inuenced by the lipophilicity and acid-base properties of the drug, and levels of plasma proteins can vary among patients and in certain disease states. If bound to plasma protein, passive diffusion of the drug through cell mem­branes will be reduced due to the higher molecular mass of the drug-protein com­plex. For this reason, often only the “fraction unbound” of the drug is considered to be pharmacologically active and determining plasma protein binding afnity is an important step in drug development. Albumin-drug binding has also been used to enhance drug biodistribution, bioavailability, and circulation time, as albumin inter­acts with many receptors that can be utilized to manipulate drug distribution. An example of a commercial product utilizing this strategy is Abraxane® (paclitaxel), in which the drug is manufactured in an albumin-bound form.

2 Overview of Biopharmaceutics and Regulatory Concepts Relevant to Drug Product…
Though drugs can distribute and pharmacologically act in many different areas of the body (e.g., tissues, cells, organelles), there is often limited access to the site of therapeutic action for sampling to quantify drug levels. Instead, the primary physiological uids that are used to quantify drug concentrations are blood (or plasma or serum) and urine. Drug concentrations from these uids are then plotted as a function of time, and mathematical models are used to predict drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. In these models, the human body is described as a series of compartments that are designated based on blood ow. The central compartment refers to the blood and other highly perfused organs, such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs. Distribution of the drug to these tissues is considered to be instantaneous, based upon the high level of blood ow. The peripheral com- partment refers to tissues in which the drug distributes more slowly, such as the skin, fat, and muscles. The rate of transfer between the central and peripheral com­partments and elimination from the central compartment can then be mathemati­cally modeled using differential equations. Drugs that instantly distribute to all tissues can be described using a one-compartment model, while drugs that do not instantly distribute and instead exhibit a different rate of diffusion to peripheral compartment tissues can be described using a two-compartment model. Drug absorption is also incorporated in pharmacokinetic models. Drugs that are adminis­tered intravascularly (i.e., intravenously) will not exhibit an absorption phase, as all of the injected drug is instantaneously available in the systemic circulation. Drugs that are administered extravascularly (e.g., orally, intramuscularly) will exhibit an absorption phase preceding a peak, the rate of which will depend upon the mecha­nism of release from the dosage form and physiological factors (e.g., gastrointesti­nal transit time in the case of oral drug delivery) (see Fig.2.2).
Important parameters obtained from the drug plasma concentration versus time curve include the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), time to maximum con- centration (Tmax), and area-under-the-curve (AUC). C
refers to the highest drug
max
concentration obtained in the prole (see Fig. 2.3) and represents the maximum systemic exposure to the drug. T
refers to the time at which the maximum plasma
max
concentration occurs. The AUC is obtained by integrating the drug plasma concen­tration with respect to time and is used as a measure of the total systemic exposure
