Development of High-Throughput PAMPA as an In Vitro Model of Passive Transcellular Permeation
Introduction
The absorption of orally administered compounds is largely determined by their ability to cross the gastrointestinal tract. Cell culture models can be intensive and limited to a narrow pH range. Assays using artificial membranes, such as PAMPA (parallel artificial membrane permeation assay) can be used as an alternative approach to assess in vitro transcellular passive permeation.
