Permeability of 16 Straight‐ and Branched‐Chain Parabens Using the Caco‐2 Assay

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The in vitro intestinal permeability of straight‐ and branched‐chain parabens has not been extensively investigated. Sixteen parabens were tested in the Caco‐2 assay. Passive diffusion was measured using PAMPA. The transport of the MCT1 substrate, p‐coumaric acid, as well as propylparaben and isopropylparaben, was investigated.
