What Does PAMPA Stand For?

PAMPA stands for Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeation Assay

PAMPA, or Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeation Assay, is an in vitro testing method designed to evaluate the permeability of compounds across artificial lipid membranes. This technique simulates the biological membrane environment, allowing for the assessment of drug absorption and transport properties. By utilizing parallel assays, PAMPA enables high-throughput screening of multiple compounds simultaneously, providing valuable insights into their pharmacokinetic profiles and aiding in the early stages of drug development.
