ABSTRACT

The effect of experimental (apical) pH on absorptive permeability (Pe) was investigated in animal intestinal tissues and Caco-2 cell monolayers to examine whether the introduction of physiological pH such as 6.5 relates to the better prediction of animal intestinal Pe. Transport studies were conducted in a 24-well transwell for Caco-2 and diffusion chambers for rabbit intestinal permeability. Twenty-four test compounds were chosen (seven acidic, seven basic, eight neutral, and two zwitterionic) and Pe was measured at a 100microM donor concentration with two apical pHs, Krebs Bicarbonate Ringer's buffer (pH 7.4) and 4-morpholineethanesulfonic acid (MES) buffer (pH 6.5). Samples were collected over a 90-min interval and analyzed by LC/UV, LC/MS, or LSC. Upon the apical pH change from 7.4 to 6.5, Caco-2 Pe of acidic and basic compounds changed significantly, whereas rabbit intestinal Pe did not change possibly by the presence of mucous layer. When the intestinal Pe was correlated with pH 6.5 or 7.4 Caco-2 Pe, the correlation of pH 6.5 duodenum and jejunum Pe with pH 6.5 Caco-2 Pe was very poor. However, pH 7.4 Caco-2 Pe correlated relatively well with pH 6.5 duodenum and jejunum Pe and pH 7.4 ileum and colon Pe. The results suggested that pH 7.4 Caco-2 Pe is a good qualitative predictor for physiological intestinal permeability from duodenum to colon.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to reduce or prevent nonspecific binding (NSB) of compounds to ultrafiltration (UF) protein binding (PB) testing units. METHODS: UF units (regenerated cellulose, MWCO 10K) were used for PB and NSB measurements with or without pretreatment with 5% tween 80 (TW 80) or 5% benzalkonium chloride (BAK) on the filter membrane. Dosing solutions (10 microM) in human serum and pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered saline were centrifuged at 3,000 g and room temperature after 1-h incubation in UF testing units. In parallel, a 96-well equilibrium dialyzer was used for PB and NSB measurements in equilibrium dialysis (ED) at 37 degrees C for 4 h. Samples of UF and ED were analyzed by LC/MS or LSC. RESULTS: Severe NSB was observed for etoposide, hydrocortisone, propranolol, and vinblastine in UF. In contrast, TW 80 or BAK pre-treatment on the filter membrane decreased the NSB from 87-95% to 13-64% without causing a significant change in membrane integrity. When NSB was below 50% as a result of pretreating agents, PB data of marker compounds were comparable to those of ED. CONCLUSIONS: The pretreated membrane with TW 80 or BAK showed significantly less NSB for compounds that had a tendency toward high membrane binding. A modified UF method with pretreatment improved the performance of UF and was able to produce comparable PB results to ED.
