Assay Information 1

Assay Type PAMPA
Permeability Type logPapp
Membrane Measurement Direction (Exclude PAMPA) -
Assay Detail Assays were performed according to the manufacturer instructions for using the BD Gentest precoated PAMPA plate system (BD Biosciences). Peptides 1–3 were prepared at 50 μM in PBS with 1% (v/v) DMSO, then added to the apical side of the precoated PAMPA plate wells, and incubated for 4 h at 37°C, 5% CO2.


Assay Information 2

Assay Type Caco2
Permeability Type logPapp
Membrane Measurement Direction (Exclude PAMPA) Apical to Basolateral (AB)
Assay Detail Permeability assays were performed as previously described. Caco-2 cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 1% (v/v) nonessential amino acids, 100 units/ mL of penicillin and 100 mg/mL of streptomycin, with culture flasks incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cells were plated at 3 × 105 cells/well in Transwell 12- well plates (Corning) in DMEM supplezzmented with 10% (v/v) FBS, 1% (v/v) nonessential amino acids, 0.4 μg/mL puromycin and cultivated for 8–10 days. Transepithelial/ endothelial electrical resistance (TEER) was measured to confirm the integrity of the Caco-2 cell monolayer for the assay (>400 Ω). Peptides 1–3 were prepared at 50 μM in Hanks balanced salt solution (HBSS) with 50 μM lucifer yellow, then added to the apical side of Caco-2 cell monolayers, and incubated for 90 min at 37°C, 5% CO2, with orbital shaking at 55 rpm.
