Drug BBB-Permeability Assay |
 |
For evaluating the permeability of a molecule through the brain endothelial and pericytes layers of BBB Kit ™ in blood-to-brain direction, the molecule is aplied to the upper compartment of the insert.
|
*Depending on types of molecules or sensitivity measurement, the time points are decided. |
 |
 |
 |
*The value obtained with only Transwell® membrane is the background data. The backgound data is needed in the calculation of apparent permeability. |

We obtained a very good correlation between the BBB Kit™ and in vivo permeabilities of drugs. You can evaluate the BBB-permeability by our BBB Kit™, quantitatively.
When you design molecular modifications of your compound or vectors carrying your compound into the brain, you can easily evaluate the BBB-permeability, quantitatively. |
