Abstract
⺠An in vitro strategy to predict the tissue permeation potential of microbicides is described. ⺠This strategy is based on solubility and permeability profiling of microbicides. ⺠Tenofovir exhibits the best permeation compared to darunavir, saquinavir and dapivirine. ⺠Dapivirine permeation can be enhanced by including excipients in HEC-based gels. ⺠The proposed biopharmaceutical profiling may reduce microbicide failure in vivo.
