MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY is an important characteristic to determine for evaluating compounds as potential drug candidates. Drugs often need to cross cell membranes in order to reach their target of action and this makes a compound’s ability to passively cross these membranes an important characteristic to evaluate. The skin, and in particular, the stratum corneum is a complex barrier, which can be mimicked.
Rapid and early screening of compounds for skin penetration is highly desirable for drug discovery. Permeability can be evaluated by cell-based methods; however, these methods are often expensive and time consuming. Parallel Artificial Permeability Assays (PAMPA) offer researchers a quick, inexpensive method of evaluating the permeability of test compounds. Our PMSKN-096 kit is designed to aid in evaluating skin permeability.
BioAssay Systems PMSKN Kit provides all the necessary components to run a Parallel Artificial Permeability Assay for skin permeability studies.
