Current industrial practices of assessing permeability and P-glycoprotein interaction
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2006, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Combination of the in vitro models that are high throughput but less predictive and the in vivo models that are low throughput but more predictive is used effectively to evaluate the intestinal permeability and transport characteristics of a large number of drug candidates during lead selection and lead optimization processes. Parallel artificial membrane permeability assay and Caco-2 cells are the most frequently used in vitro models to assess intestinal permeability. The popularity of these models stems from their potential for high throughput, cost effectiveness, and adequate predictability of absorption potential in humans. However, several caveats associated with these models (eg, poor predictability for transporter-mediated and paracellularly absorbed compounds, significant nonspecific binding to cells/devices leading to poor recovery, variability associated with experimental factors) need to be considered carefully to realize their full potential. P-glycoprotein, among other pharmaceutically relevant transporters, has been well demonstrated to be the major determinant of drug disposition. The review article presents an objective analysis of the permeability and transporter models currently being used in the pharmaceutical industry and could help guide the discovery scientists in implementing these models in an optimal fashion.
