Development of a novel gut microphysiological system that facilitates assessment of drug absorption kinetics in gut.

There is an urgent need for novel methods that can accurately predict intestinal absorption of orally administered drugs in humans. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of a novel gut microphysiological system (MPS), gut MPS/Fluid3D-X, to assess the intestinal absorption of drugs in humans. The gut MPS/Fluid3D-X model was constructed using a newly developed flow-controllable and dimethylpolysiloxane-free MPS device (Fluid3D-X).
