“…With amphipathic properties and the capability to mimic the biomembrane, surfactants with unique structures are often used in the field of drug separation and evaluation of drug membranetransport. Biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC), an MLC system optimized in order to describe the biological behavior of drugs, comprises a hydrophobic stationary phase and saline solutions of Brij35 micelles as mobile phase, and has been shown to be useful for describing and predicting the biological activities of different pharmacological kinds of drugs (Quiñones-Torrelo et al, 1999Escuder-Gilabert et al, 2000), and permeability across the intestinal barrier (Balon et al, 1999;Molero-Monfort et al, 2001), blood-brain barrier and cornea (Escuder-Gilabert et al, 2004).…”
