Aim: Predictive ( in silico) data suggested that nootropic supplements may penetrate the blood–brain barrier (BBB). We evaluated, in vitro, the ability of nootropics to enter the brain based on the high throughput screening (HTS) measurement of interactions with the P-gp efflux transporter and physicochemical properties and correlated these data with the in silico predictions. Methods & results: The software predicted that piracetam, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), amantadine and thioflavin-T can best penetrate the BBB. The lipophilicity of these compounds may be predicted by measuring the critical micelle concentration (CMC). DHA and verapamil demonstrated high lipophilicity. DHA, verapamil and phosphatidylserine (PS) may be good substrates of the P-gp transporter. Conclusion: Permeability of nootropics may be successfully predicted by high throughput screening-lead optimization assay technologies.

Characterizing the properties of large numbers of compounds and estimating their potential absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination properties are important early stages in the process of drug discovery and help to reduce later stage attrition. The chromatographic separation principles using stationary phases that contain proteins and phospholipids are more suitable for compound characterization and estimation of the pharmacokinetic properties than the traditional octanol/water partition coefficient. This technology, when standardized, enables the prediction of in vivo behavior and the selection of compounds with the best potential, thus reducing the number of animal experiments. Chromatography may be involved more widely in the future to measure kinetic aspects of compounds’ binding to proteins and receptors which would enable designing compounds that require a lower frequency of doses and have more predictable pharmacokinetic profiles.
