Caco-2 Cells are a widely used cell line derived from a human colon cancer cell line, which is essential for drug absorption and toxicity testing in the pharmaceutical industry. The Caco-2 cell line is a commonly used model to study absorption, transport, and metabolism of drugs in the intestine due to its robustness and its ability to form cell-to-cell tight junctions. The Caco-2 cell line has been used in the study of drug absorption, metabolism, and toxicity in a wide range of pharmaceuticals. In addition, it has been used to study physiological processes including epithelial cell-cell interactions, intestinal metabolism, intestinal permeability, and nutrient absorption. The Caco-2 cell line is a valuable tool for drug discovery and development, providing important information for the optimization of drug formulations and drug delivery systems.
