Abstract
Peptoids (N-substituted polyglycines and extended peptoids with variant backbone amino-acid monomer units) are oligomeric synthetic polymers that are becoming a valuable molecular tool in the biosciences. Of particular interest are their applications to the exploration of peptoid secondary structures and drug design. Major advantages of peptoids as research and pharmaceutical tools include the ease and economy of synthesis, highly variable backbone and side-chain chemistry possibilities. At the same time, peptoids have been demonstrated as highly active in biological systems while resistant to proteolytic decay. This review with 227 references considers the solid-phase synthetic aspects of peptoid preparation and utilization up to 2010 from the instigation, by R. N. Zuckermann et al., of peptoid chemistry in 1992.

Abstract
We describe here a convenient procedure for assessing the relative cell permeability of chemical compounds. The assay can be used in a high-throughput mode and is particularly applicable for the evaluation of the relative permeability of compounds in a combinatorial library. The compound of interest is conjugated to a dexamethasone derivative. The entry of the conjugate into living mammalian cells triggers the nuclear transport of a Gal4 DNA binding domain-glucocorticoid receptor ligand binding domain-VP16 activation domain fusion protein and, consequently, the activation of a Gal4-responsive luciferase reporter gene. The relative cell permeability is thus described quantitatively by the level of luciferase expression. The experiments take only a few days once chemical synthesis and conjugation are finished.

Abstract
Screening in mixtures is a common approach for increasing the efficiency of high-throughput screening. Here we investigate how the "compound load" of mixtures influences promiscuous aggregate-based inhibition. We screened 764 molecules individually and in mixtures of 10 at 5 miccroM each, comparing the observed inhibition of the mixtures to that predicted from single-compound results. Synergistic effects on aggregation predominated, although antagonism was also observed. These results suggest that screening mixtures can increase aggregation-based inhibition in a nonadditive manner.

Abstract
There is great interest in the identification of synthetic molecules that are capable of manipulating protein-protein interactions in living cells. Peptides, unlike other classes of small molecules, have binding properties appropriate for this application, but most are poorly cell permeable and sensitive to proteases. Therefore, considerable effort has been expended in the development of libraries of oligomeric peptide-like molecules. However, there are no clear-cut rules to guide the design of libraries rich in cell permeable compounds. Furthermore, currently available empirical methods to assess permeability may not accurately reflect true permeability and/or are capable of only modest throughput. We describe here an assay for assessing the relative cell permeability of synthetic molecules in the context of steroid fusions that is capable of high throughput and can be used in any transfectable cell line.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of the current study was to investigate whether blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability studies in vitro could be accelerated by running several compounds together in the same experiment. METHODS To address this question, we compared the transport of six compounds run separately with the results of the same compounds run together (cocktails). RESULTS The study clearly demonstrated that the outcome of the experiments were totally different depending on the strategy used. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of having the resistance to drug transport offered by filters without cells under control, as the filter membrane itself can be the rate-limiting step for some compounds; in addition, there is always a potential risk of interactions between molecules in cocktails as well as drug-drug interaction at the level of BBB transporters. In this study, the presence of several P-glycoprotein substrates in the drug cocktail was found to cause breakdown of the BBB. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate that unless a strategy that involves running several compounds in the same experiment is properly validated, the results are of little predictive value.

Abstract
PURPOSE Various lectins bind specifically to oligosaccharides on intestinal cells. Exploiting this specificity, Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA1) has been used as a ligand for targeted oral vaccine delivery to M cells (antigen-presenting cells) in follicle-associated epithelium. In this study we characterized compounds identified from mixture-based positional scanning synthetic combinatorial libraries, which mimic UEA1 and, thus, may have properties applicable to targeted drug delivery. METHODS Two UEA1 mimetics were synthesized and their activity was verified on live cells. The ability of the lead compound, a tetragalloyl D-Lysine amide construct (4-copy gallic acid construct), to deliver dye-loaded polystyrene particles to M cells was assessed in an in situ mouse gut loop model. RESULTS The 4-copy gallic acid construct inhibited UEA1 binding to Caco-2 cell membranes with an IC50 of 3 microM, a 650- to 5000-fold increase over the natural UEA1 substrate alpha-L-fucose. The biotin-labeled derivative of this construct demonstrated comparable binding activity as verified on live cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Preclinical studies confirmed its ability to mediate M cell-specific delivery of streptavidin-coated particles in vivo. CONCLUSIONS Polyphenolic compounds, D-Lysine scaffolds with multiple galloyl groups, can mimic functional activities of UEA1. Properties of such molecules, including low molecular weight, stability, ease of synthesis and low cost, highlight their potential for application in targeted vaccine delivery.

Abstract
In vitro drug metabolism studies play a dual role along the path from drug discovery to preclinical development. By analyzing the objectives of each type of study the question of whether to apply good laboratory practices (GLP) requirements is clarified. This review outlines the various in vitro techniques available and categorizes the goals for which they are applied as either supporting drug discovery or influencing decisions of clinical safety. Based on this categorization it is proposed that studies performed to explore the utility of a potential drug candidate be conducted non-GLP, while studies used to support IND and post-IND submissions be considered for GLP.

Abstract
A gradient HPLC method with combined ultraviolet and fluorescence detection was developed for the simultaneous determination of eight beta-blockers (alprenolol, atenolol, metoprolol, nadolol, pindolol, propranolol, sotalol and timolol) in corneal permeability studies in vitro. Fluorescence detection with excitation wavelength at 230 nm and emission at 302 nm was selective for six of the compounds, whereas UV detection at 205 nm was able to detect all the compounds. Calibration was performed with fluorescence detection for six compounds from 50 or 200 nM to 3 microM, and with UV detection for all the eight compounds from 100 or 200 nM to 30 microM. With optimized fluorescence detection, detection limits between 0.7 and 1.3 nM (0.035-0.065 pmol per 50 microl injection) were obtained for atenolol, metoprolol, nadolol and sotalol. A mixture of eight beta-blockers was used in cassette dosing permeability studies with a cultured corneal epithelium. The HPLC method revealed marked differences in the permeation between hydrophilic and lipophilic beta-blockers through the corneal epithelial cell culture model.

Abstract
Delivery of pharmaceuticals, particularly biotechnology products such as proteins, peptides, genes, oligonucleotides and vaccines, via the oral route remains problematic to this day. Instability in the gastrointestinal environment and poor permeability across the intestinal epithelial cell barrier contribute to poor oral bioavailability for many of these compounds. Current targeting strategies to overcome these issues are focused on three-part systems in which the drug (i) is loaded into a protective particulate carrier (ii) which is coated with target-specific ligands (iii) which mediate site-specific delivery of the drug-carrier complex. Protection from gastrointestinal degradative processes combined with site-specific delivery to absorptive regions of the intestinal tract is purported to yield high local concentrations of the drug of choice in close proximity with the epithelial cell layer and hence, transport across that barrier through a variety of mechanisms. This review examines the impact of cutting-edge technologies such as genomics and combinatorial chemistry on targeted oral drug delivery strategies. The explosion in rate of identification of new targets using genomics, together with high-throughput screening for target-specific ligands using combinatorial chemistry and phage display, has the potential to revolutionise this field. Particular reference is made to advances associated with targeted delivery of vaccines to M-cells or antigen-presenting cells in gut-associated lymphoid tissues.

Abstract
This study was performed to determine the exclusion criteria that differentiate poorly absorbed drugs from good drug candidates, and to accelerate drug development by exclusion of unnecessary assessment. The molecular and pharmacokinetic properties of 222 commercially available oral drugs were tabulated and their correlations were analyzed. The exclusion criteria obtained were 1) a molecular weight of more than 500, and 2) a ClogP value of more than 5. Exceptions to molecular weight criteria were compounds with a sugar moiety, high atomic weight, and large cyclic structure. It was also suggested that being a substrate for MDRI (P-glycoprotein) does not always result in poor bioavailability, and that drug development by chemical modification of a seed or lead compound with quantitative structure activity relationship analysis can result in lower bioavailability, higher bound fraction and lower urinary excretion, which would hamper later development processes and might result in considerable drug-drug interaction. The criteria should be adjusted according to the pharmacological profiles of the agents in question and depending on the estimated profit, but ignoring these criteria may result in a significant waste of time and money during drug development.

Abstract
Highly lipophilic compounds are often encountered in the early stages of drug discovery. The apparent permeability (Papp) of these compounds in Caco-2 cell could be underestimated because of considerable retention by the Caco-2 monolayer and non-specific binding to transwell surface. We have utilized a general approach for the determination of permeability of these compounds, which includes the addition of 1-5% DMSO in the apical (AP) and 4% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the basolateral (BA) side. Two highly lipophilic and highly protein bound Schering compounds, SCH-A and SCH-B, exhibited poor recovery and low Papp in the conventional Caco-2 system that included 1% DMSO in the AP and BA sides. In contrast, both compounds were well absorbed in cynomolgus monkeys. Inclusion of BSA (up to 4%) in the BA side provided necessary absorptive driving force similar to in vivo sink conditions improving both recovery and Papp of these compounds as well as progesterone, a model highly lipophilic and highly protein bound compound. Whereas, the recovery and Papp of mannitol (high recovery, low permeability) and propranolol (high recovery, high permeability) remained unaffected. The presence of 4% BSA increased Papp of SCH-A, SCH-B, and progesterone by five-, four-, and three-fold, respectively. We also compared this approach with a second, based on the disappearance of the compound from the AP side, which resulted in a reasonable estimate of the permeability (23.3x10(-6) cm/s) for SCH-A. The results demonstrated that the reliable estimates of permeability of highly lipophilic compounds that are subjected to considerable retention by the cell monolayer and exhibit non-specific binding are obtained by the addition of BSA to the BA side.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this investigation was to evaluate methods for increasing Caco-2 cell throughput for assessing drug intestinal absorption. The use of 6-, 12-, and 24-well membranes and the effect of membrane size on permeability and the integrity of the Caco-2 cell monolayer were assessed. In an effort to optimize the assessment of drug permeability, increased throughput was investigated by testing compounds singly or as mixtures of analytes. METHOD The transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) of cell monolayers was measured on 0.33, 1.0, and 4.7 cm2 polycarbonate membranes using EVOM, over a 25-day period. Absorptive transport was determined on all compounds tested using LC-MS/MS assays, or liquid scintillation spectrometry. RESULTS The effect of multiple compounds in one well compared to single compounds was assessed with atenolol, nadolol, metoprolol, and propranolol for mixtures of four compounds and with RWJ-53308, atenolol, terbutaline, propranolol, naproxen, piroxicam, topiramate, and furosemide for mixtures of eight compounds. The apparent permeability (Papp) values correlated well between single analytes and mixtures of four and eight analytes in each well. Drug permeability decreased slightly with an increase in well size. The TEER value increased with the number of days in culture for each of the 6-, 12-, and 24-well sizes. DISCUSSION It was demonstrated that the 24-well format system is ideal for high-throughput assessment. Furthermore, the approach of mixing four or eight analytes in each well to further increase throughput was also demonstrated to be valid.

Abstract
The application of rapid methods currently used for screening discovery drug candidates for metabolism and pharmacokinetic characteristics is discussed. General considerations are given for screening in this context, including the criteria for good screens, the use of counterscreens, the proper sequencing of screens, ambiguity in the interpretation of results, strategies for false positives and negatives, and the special difficulties encountered in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic screening. Detailed descriptions of the present status of screening are provided for absorption potential, blood-brain barrier penetration, inhibition and induction of cytochrome P450, pharmacokinetics, biotransformation, and computer modeling. Although none of the systems currently employed for drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic screening can be considered truly high-throughput, several of them are rapid enough to be a practical part of the screening paradigm for modern, fast-moving discovery programs.

Abstract
Studying the permeability of compounds across a Caco-2 cell monolayer is an established in vitro model to screen for oral absorption and to evaluate the mechanism of transport. This assay can also be used to evaluate compounds as potential P-glycoprotein substrates and/or inhibitors. The traditional methods of sample analysis (high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a UV or fluorescence detector) limit the throughput and sensitivity of this assay. Data are presented here describing the use of liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) for the analysis of samples derived from the Caco-2 cell studies. During the analysis an automatic switching valve was used to divert the flow from the HPLC column to waste for the first minute, preventing the early eluting salts from entering and contaminating the LC/MS interface. This approach allows the rapid and accurate determination of drug transport across the Caco-2 cell monolayer. The high sensitivity and specificity of LC/MS/MS make this technique an ideal candidate for the low concentration and high throughput routine analysis of Caco-2 cell solutions, especially if multiple compounds are administered and analyzed simultaneously. Thus, the use of LC/MS/MS will increase the value of the Caco-2 cell assay as an in vitro screening tool.

Abstract
A method for high-throughput Caco-2 permeability screening of drug candidates has been developed using thirteen generic drugs as test compounds. The high throughput was achieved by either a sample pooling or a cassette dosing approach, along with the use of a rapid, simple and sensitive direct injection/on-line guard cartridge extraction/tandem mass spectrometric assay that was also developed in this study. It was of concern that possible drug-drug interactions (e.g., inhibition of P-glycoprotein-mediated transport of a drug by another, and/or competition of the drugs for transport pathways), when the cassette dosing regimen was implemented, may give rise to inconsistent results compared with those attained by a traditional single-drug dosing approach. However, the apparent permeability coefficients of the test drugs across Caco-2 monolayers measured by the sample pooling or cassette dosing (up to five drugs co-administered in this study) strategy were in good conformity with the data obtained by single-drug dosing followed by discrete sample analysis.

Abstract
In the past few years, the emergence of combinatorial chemistry has drawn increasing attention and a great deal of analytical research has been centered around this new methodology. These new methods capable of producing vast numbers of samples, which are in many cases highly complex, demand fast and reliable analytical techniques able to provide high quality information concerning sample compositions. Mass spectrometry (MS) is the method of choice to face these analytical challenges. In particular, the introduction of electrospray ionization (ESI and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) have been the driving forces for many of the recent innovations, not only within the fields of the biosciences, but also in combinatorial chemistry. These ionization techniques are extremely versatile for the characterization of both single compound collections and compound mixture collections. The high-throughput capabilities, as well as many possible couplings with separation techniques (HPLC, CE) have been thus facilitated. However, mass spectrometry is not only limited to use as an instrument for synthesis control, but also plays an increasing role in the identification of active compounds from complex libraries. Recently, new initiatives for library analysis and screening have arisen from the application of the latest developments in mass spectrometry, Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR).

Abstract
PURPOSE Here we characterized the transport properties of morpholine-urea-phenylalanine-homophenylalanine-vinylsulfone-phenyl (K02), a newly developed peptidomimetic cysteine protease inhibitor, across monolayers of P-gp-expressed MDRI transfected MDCK cells (MDR1-MDCK) and Caco-2 cells. METHODS MDR1-MDCK, MDCK and Caco-2 cells, grown to confluence on Transwell insert membranes, were used to investigate transcellular transport of [14C]-K02. RESULTS The basolateral to apical (B-A) flux of 10 microM [14C]-K02 across MDR1-MDCK cells was markedly greater than its apical to basolateral (A-B) flux (ratio = 39). This specific B-A transport was temperature dependent and saturable, with an apparent Michaelis-Menten constant and maximum velocity of 69.1 +/- 19.5 microM and 148.9 +/- 16.3 pmol/min/cm2, respectively. This B-A flux was significantly inhibited by cyclosporine (IC50 = 17.1 +/- 0.7 microM), vinblastine (IC50 = 75.9 +/- 13.0 microM) and verapamil (IC50 = 236 +/- 63 microM). In Caco-2 cell monolayers, the B-A flux was reduced about 50% compared to that in MDR1-MDCK and the A-B flux was increased about 8-fold. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant and maximum velocity values for the B-A transport were 71.8 +/- 45.9 microM and 35.3 +/- 9.0 pmol/min/ cm2. This B-A flux was also significantly inhibited by P-gp substrates/ inhibitors. Western blots showed that the P-gp expression in MDR1-MDCK cells was about 10-fold that in Caco-2 cells. CONCLUSIONS K02 is transported by P-gp in both MDR1-MDCK and Caco-2 cells, and the in vitro interactions between K02 and various P-gp substrates may provide strategies to overcome the bioavailability barrier by intestinal P-gp.

Abstract
Combinatorial chemistry methods and high-throughput screening for leads in industrial drug discovery have generated a potential bottleneck in the optimisation processes that seek to align potency with good pharmacokinetics in order to produce good medicines. This has resulted in the need for higher throughput methods of screening for absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion properties. Significant progress has been made in throughput of in vivo pharmacokinetic studies, with the introduction of cassette, or multiple-in-one, protocols. In this technique, typically up to ten compounds are administered in one dose and analysed concomitantly on the mass spectrometer. High-throughput methods in in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion are less well-developed as yet, and current approaches comprise automation of well-established methods for absorption using cell lines and metabolism using liver microsomes.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis was used for the separation of a combinatorially synthesized N-(substituted)-glycine (NSG) peptoid mixture. This mixture consisted of 24 trimeric compounds sharing a common backbone structure but differing in the side chain attached at the N-terminal residue. Standards of the individual components were unavailable so that development of the separation was based on the mixture. A variety of buffer additives were investigated to enhance the CE resolution of this diverse mixture. Ion-pairing agents, cyclodextrins and organic modifiers were all evaluated as buffer additives. The best separations were achieved using a combination of buffer additives, each serving a different purpose in the separation. Heptane sulphonic acid (HSA) was used to reduce hydrophobic intramolecular interactions. Methyl-beta-cyclodextrin was used to provide host-guest interactions in order to resolve the very hydrophobic components of the NSG-peptoid mixture. The optimized run buffer consisted of 250 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 2.0, with 25 mM HSA and 40 mg/ml BCD and resulted in the resolution of 21 peaks for the 24 peptoids in the combinatorial mixture.

Abstract
The capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based separation of five N-(substituted)-glycine (NSG)-peptoid mixtures with a wide range of physical and chemical properties was studied. A CE separation, initially developed using a single representative peptoid mixture, with a background electrolyte (BGE) modified by the addition of both methyl-beta-cyclodextrin and heptane sulfonic acid was found to provide good separations of most of the combinatorial mixtures investigated. For those mixtures not separated well by this procedure, the use of SDS micelles in conjunction with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin resulted in dramatic improvements in the separation. While no single set of separation conditions proved sufficient for all of the NSG-peptoid combinatorial mixtures, the two methods were able to provide separation sufficient for characterization of a set of mixtures with a wide range of physical and chemical properties. The efficiency of the CE-based separation of the combinatorial mixtures studied was compared to a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method using gradient elution.
