Abstract
A major parameter controlling the extent and rate of oral drug absorption is permeability through the lipid bilayer of intestinal epithelial cells. Here, a biomimetic artificial membrane permeability assay (Franz-Bampa) was validated using Franz cells apparatus. Both high and low permeability drugs (metoprolol and mannitol, respectively) were used as external standards. Biomimetic properties of Franz-Bampa were also characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR). Moreover, the permeation profile for the 14 BCS class I-IV drugs cited in the FDA guidance (including other drugs as acyclovir, cimetidine, diclofenac, ibuprofen, piroxicam, and trimethoprim) were measured across Franz-Bampa. Apparent permeability (Papp) was compared to literature fraction dose absorbed in humans (Fa%). Papp in Caco-2 cells and Corti artificial membrane were likewise compared to Fa% to assess Franz-Bampa performance. Mannitol and metoprolol Papp values across Franz-Bampa were lower (3.20 x 10-7 and 1.61 x 10-5 cm/s, respectively) than those obtained across non-impregnated membrane (2.27 x 10-5 and 2.55 x 10-5 cm/s, respectively), confirming lipidic barrier resistivity. Performance of the Franz cell permeation apparatus using an artificial membrane showed similar log linear correlation (R2 = 0.664) with Fa%, as seen for Papp in Caco-2 cells (R2 = 0.805). Data support the validation of the Franz-Bampa method for use during drug discovery process.
