GastroPlus software is the only known software that uses the ACAT model to predict oral absorption and combines non-oral delivery routes (such as ocular and pulmonary) in the prediction model. The ACAT model is widely accepted in the scientific community and many absorption models already built by FDA scientists have been created using the ACAT model. DDDPlus is a companion software that allows for the prediction of in vitro dissolution and lot-to-lot variability. MembranePlus is a companion software that allows for the prediction of the in vitro permeability of drugs. Equipment/Software Specifications 1.
