Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information): other: High permeability
In an A-B (apical to basolateral) permeability assay performed using the TC-7 cell line, 2-amino-hydroxyethylaminoanisole sulfate showed a Papp of 73.3 x 10 (-6) cm/sec. Therefore test substance was classified to be of high permeability, indicating a nearly 100% absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

Executive summary:

The in-vitro A-B (apical to basolateral) permeability study of 2-amino-4-hydroxyethylaminoanisole sulfate  was conducted to determine bioavailability of the test substance across the intestinal barrier using the TC-7 human intestinal epithelial cell line.

The permeability from the apical (A, pH 6.5) to the basolateral (B, pH 7.4) side of a cell monolayer was investigated at 37°C in 96-well transwell plates with shaking for a 60 min contact time. The test solution (50 µM test substance in HBSS) was applied to the apical side and HBSS-HEPES buffer was added to the basolateral side. Analysis of the donor (apical) and receiver (basolateral) samples was performed by means of HLPC-MS/MS. For analysis, donor samples were collected at 0 and 60 minutes and receiver samples were collected at 60 min. The apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) was calculated for two independent experiments. 14C-mannitol was used to demonstrate the integrity of the cell monolayer. Only monolayers revealing a permeability of < 2.5 x 10 (-6) cm/sec were used.

The reference compounds Propranolol and Ranitidine were analysed concurrently to demonstrate the validity of the test system.

The mean apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) of test substance was 73.3 x 10 (-6) cm/s.The mean recovery of the test substance was 33%.

The Papp value for reference compounds Propanolol (25.90x 10 (-6)) and ranitidine (0.20x 10 (-6)) were within the acceptable range and demonstrated the validity of the assay.

In an A-B (apical to basolateral) permeability assay performed using the TC-7 cell line, 2-amino-hydroxyethylamino-anisole sulfate showed a Papp of 73.3 x 10 (-6) cm/sec. Therefore test substance was classified to be of high permeability, indicating a nearly 100% absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.
