Question :
Correct.
The
correct answer is enhance.
For each one point drop of the pKa of a basic drug, its ratio of protonated/non-protonated
form will drop by 10 fold (i.e. : more exists in the non-protonated form).
Hence, more will exist in the uncharged form, i.e.: in the form that can be
taken up the most efficiently.
