A flux dialysis method to measure unbound fraction (f(u)) of compounds with high protein binding and other challenging properties was tested and validated. This method is based on the principle that the initial flux rate of a compound through a size-excluding dialysis membrane is proportional to the product of the compound initial concentration, f(u), and unbound dialysis membrane permeability (P-mem). Therefore, f(u) can be determined from the initial concentration and flux rate, assuming membrane P-mem is known. Compound initial flux rates for 14 compounds were determined by dialyzing human plasma containing compound (donor side) versus compound-free plasma (receiver side) and measuring the rate of compound appearance into the receiver side. Eleven compounds had known f(u) values obtained from conventional methods (ranging from 0.000013 to 0.22); three compounds (bedaquiline, lapatinib, and pibrentasvir) had previously qualified f(u) values (e.g.,
