Mucin immobilized chromatography

摘要

An in vitro high-throughput screening method that models the absorption of drugs across the epithelial mucosa is provided. The invention discloses an in vitro mucin immobilized chromatography model to estimate drug permeability coefficients. The invention describes compositions for mucin immobilized chromatography media and methods to prepare this media. The invention also discloses a method to estimate in vitro drug permeability coefficients using mucin immobilized chromatography media. The invention also discloses methods to determine absorption processes in the digestive system and discloses methods of use for mucin chromatography media in column, batch, assay, diagnostic, or high-throughput screening analyses.
