Assay Information 1

Assay Type PAMPA
Permeability Type logPe
Membrane Measurement Direction (Exclude PAMPA) -
Assay Detail Passive permeability assays were run in triplicate on 96-well hydrophobic poly(vinylidene difluoride)(PVDF)plates (Millipore, 0.45 μM, 200 μL) and 300 μL receptor plates (Millipore). Assays were carried out using a 10 μL membrane (2% lecithin in dodecane) with a 100 μMsolution in a phosphate buffer (pH = 6.4) and shaken for 17 h (25 °C, 50 rpm).


Assay Information 2

Assay Type Caco2
Permeability Type logPapp
Membrane Measurement Direction (Exclude PAMPA) Average of Apical to Basolateral (AB) and Basolateral to Apical (BA)
Assay Detail Assays were run in triplicate on polycarbonate Transwell plates (Corning) with hydrophilic filters (0.45 μM, Millipore). Caco-2 cells were passaged >72 times and grown on the filter for 22 days, at which point the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) was over 300 Ω cm^2. Compounds were tested in an initial 10 μM solution using an Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) buffer (N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N'-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES)/NaOH, pH = 7.4) and a sample was taken after 60 and 120 min at 37 °C. Propranolol and atenolol were used as control compounds for high and low permeabilities, respectively. The assays were performed in both apical-to-basolateral and basolateral-to-apical directions to better assess the effect of efflux.
