Across
- 1. Transporter superfamily responsible for facilitated diffusion uptake.
- 4. Membrane surface facing the gut lumen or external environment.
- 8. Drug passage through epithelial cells.
- 9. Drug passage between epithelial cells.
- 10. Projections in the intestine that enlarge absorptive area.
- 11. Uptake transporter family for organic cations.
- 16. Protein that moves drugs into cells along gradient.
- 19. Criteria predicting poor passive permeability when ≥2 rules violated.
- 20. Equation describing passive diffusion rate across membranes.
Down
- 2. Difference in unbound drug concentration across a membrane.
- 3. Protein that moves drugs out of cells, often reducing absorption.
- 5. Dual‐layer membrane structure forming the barrier for absorption.
- 6. Transporter superfamily responsible for ATP-dependent efflux.
- 7. Efflux transporter family aiding renal excretion.
- 12. Brush-border structures that increase intestinal surface area.
- 13. Ability of a drug to cross a membrane.
- 14. Membrane surface facing the blood side.
- 15. Uptake transporter family for organic anions.
- 17. Major efflux transporter (P-glycoprotein/MDR1) reducing absorption or CNS entry.
- 18. Movement of drug across membrane down its concentration gradient.
