High throughput prediction of oral absorption: improvement of the composition of the lipid solution used in parallel artificial membrane permeation assay.
The purpose of the present study was to improve the composition of the lipid solution used in parallel artificial membrane permeation assay for the precise prediction of oral absorption. We modified the composition of lipid solution, which was used to make a lipid membrane on the filter support. First, we changed the chain length of organic solvent (PC/alkyldienes [C7-C10]). A negative charge was then added to the membrane to mimic the intestinal membrane (PC/stearic acid/1,7-octadiene and PC/PE/PS/PI/cholesterol/1,7-octadiene). Finally, we examined the predictability of the PC/PE/PS/PI/CHO/1,7-octadiene membrane using structurally diverse compounds. Permeability coefficients of tested compounds were increased as the chain length of alkyldiene became shorter. The addition of a negative charge to the membrane increased the permeability of the basic compounds. However, the negatively charged membrane with stearic acid showed different permeability profiles from PC/PE/PS/PI/CHO. The predictability of the PC/PE/PS/PI/CHO/1,7-octadiene membrane was adequate (r = 0.858, n = 31) for use during the early stages of the drug discovery/development process.
