Carboprost methyl
15(S)-15-methyl Prostaglandin F2α methyl ester (15(S)-15-methyl PGF2α methyl ester) is a derivative of 15(S)-15-methyl PGF2α with increased membrane permeability. Hydrolysis of the methyl ester in vivo releases the biologically active 15(S)-15-methyl PGF2α, which is a potent uterine stimulant and abortifacient.

Transepithelial/transendothelial electrical resistance assay
TEER measures electrical resistance across epithelial or endothelial monolayers cultured on permeable supports, and the readout reflects ionic conductance through the cell barrier, especially the paracellular pathway regulated by junctional integrity. TEER can be measured without destroying the monolayer and is commonly used before or during transport, permeability, barrier-disruption, and barrier-maturation experiments. TEER values are influenced by biological maturation and technical conditions; reported factors include temperature, medium formulation, passage number, electrode geometry, membrane properties, and junctional length during early monolayer maturation. Therefore, TEER should be interpreted with blank-insert subtraction, area normalization, repeated readings, and, when possible, orthogonal barrier readouts such as FITC-dextran flux or tight-junction staining.
