2. Inter-Lab Correlations
The assessment of a compound’s intestinal permeability is one of the key factors for the
successful prediction of oral absorption in the drug discovery and development processes. In
vitro determination of permeability using a Caco-2 monolayer is a currently recognized
method to predict the extent of in vivo oral absorption. To evaluate chemical candidates for
their absorption potential faster and cheaper, in silico absorption models using in vitro Caco-2
permeability have been developed and used in drug discovery and development processes.
However, it is well known that in vitro Caco-2 permeability can vary lab-to-lab due to the
differences in culture and transport conditions. As cited in 58 references, in vitro mannitol
permeability values vary 345 fold (0.019 – 6.55 x 10-6 cm/s)1. Therefore, an external
validation is needed to compare data between labs. The key issue is the quantitative
comparison of Caco-2 permeability between labs, but there is no standardized method to
evaluate inter-lab variations.
In this report, in vitro permeability of 21 marker compounds representing various transport
processes was studied in a standardized Caco-2 protocol at Lion to investigate inter-lab
variations of Caco-2 permeability. In vitro permeability values of marker compounds were
also collected from 10 references with various culture conditions (passage #, serum, filter
type/size, seeding density, monolayer age) and various transport conditions (agitation, pH,
buffer), and they were compared and correlated to the data studied at Lion. Finally, the
adjusted Caco-2 permeability of 4 marker compounds was back-calculated using a log linear
correlation curve. Atenolol, mannitol, propranolol, and verapamil were chosen as 4 marker
compounds as they were most frequently used in 10 references.

Purpose. To investigate inter-laboratory correlation of Caco-2 permeability using marker compounds. Methods. In vitro permeability of 21 marker compounds
representing various transport processes was studied in a standardized Caco-2 monolayer (24-well transwell format/ 20-24 day culture/ passage 30-40). A  B
permeability was studied at 37C, 50 opm, 95% humidity, and 5% CO2 using a 100 M donor concentration with 1% DMSO. In vitro permeability values of marker
compounds were also collected from 10 references with various culture conditions (passage #, serum, filter type/size, seeding density, monolayer age) and various
transport conditions (agitation, pH, buffer), and they were correlated to the data studied at Lion. Results. The study results at Lion showed reproducible permeability
for 4 transport markers at different Caco-2 monolayer batches (Mannitol: 0.45 – 0.47 x 10-6 cm/s (n=3); atenolol: 0.69 – 1.80 x 10-6 cm/s (n=12); propranolol: 18.5 –
36.8 x 10-6 cm/s (n=12); and verapamil: 18.7 – 23.6 x 10-6 cm/s (n=3)). However, the in vitro permeability values varied 11 fold (0.38 – 4.0 x 10-6 cm/s) for mannitol,
45 fold (0.1 – 4.5 x 10-6 cm/s) for atenolol, 10 fold (11.5 – 110 x 10-6 cm/s) for propranolol, and 8 fold (9.2 – 69.4 x 10-6 cm/s) for verapamil in inter-laboratory Caco2. It is also known that in vitro mannitol Papp values vary 345 fold (0.019 – 6.55 x 10-6 cm/s) from 58 published references1. By contrast, the correlation of Caco-2
permeability between Lion and each of 10 references was good (r2 > 0.8, 8 of 10). Conclusions. The in vitro permeability of marker compounds is reproducible under
a standardized experimental condition, but can vary significantly between laboratories due to the differences in culture and experimental conditions. This work
suggests that correlating inter-laboratory Caco-2 permeability for certain transport markers may be a valuable standardization method to normalize inter-laboratory
differences of Caco-2 permeability.
