High throughput artificial membrane permeability assay for blood–brain barrier
Abstract
The recent advances in high throughput screening for biological activities and combinatorial chemistry have greatly expanded the number of drug candidates. Rapid screening for BBB penetration potential early in drug discovery programs provides important information for compound selection and guidance of synthesis for desirable CNS properties. In this paper, we discuss a modification of the parallel artificial membrane permeation assay (PAMPA) for the prediction of blood-brain barrier penetration (PAMPA-BBB). The assay was developed with 30 structurally diverse commercial drugs and validated with 14 Wyeth Research compounds. The PAMPA-BBB assay has the advantages of: predicting passive blood-brain barrier penetration with high success, high throughput, low cost, and reproducibility.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
