ABSTRACT

The biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) is a vital tool used in the pharmaceutical industry to assess the in vivo performance of drugs based on their solubility and permeability characteristics. It plays a crucial role in drug development, formulation, and regulatory approval processes. This comprehensive review article explores the principles, applications, advantages, and limitations of the BCS. The article further delves into the various factors affecting BCS classification, the relationship between BCS and drug absorption, and the implications of BCS on dosage form design. Moreover, recent advancements and potential future developments related to BCS are discussed. This review aims to provide a thorough understanding of the BCS and its significance in modern pharmaceutical sciences.
