Abstract: The trasport rate of chiral complexes d-[Co(EDTA)]- and l-[Co(EDTA)]- across Caco-2 cell monolayers were measured by the kinetics method. The studies discover that there is an obvious difference about the trasport rate of d-[Co(EDTA)]- and l-[Co(EDTA)]- when they get across Caco-2 cell monolayers because of the chiral difference of the metal complexes. The results show that there is a chiral selectivity when chiral metal complexes were transported and absorbed across Caco-2 cell monolayers and imply that intestine would selectively absorb drugs of chiral metal complexes. The trasport rate of d-[Co(EDTA)]- and l-[Co(EDTA)]- passing through Caco-2 cell monolayers depends on the grads of the complexes concentration, it is shown that their transport model is as simple diffuse when they were transported and absorbed through Caco-2 cell monolayers.
