Furthermore, the toxicity and the in vitro transport of the SLMs on an air liquid interface model of the Calu-3 cell line were also investigated using a modified twin-stage impinger apparatus. RESULTS: Results showed that quercetin SLMs could be formulated as dry powder suitable for inhalation drug delivery (20.5 ± 3.3% fine particle fraction ⩽4.46 μm) that was absorbed, via a linear kinetic model across the Calu-3 monolayer (22.32 ± 1.51% over 4 h). A modified in vitro aerosol testing apparatus (twin stage impinger TSI, Radleys, Essex, UK) that allows the attachment of a Transwell containing Calu-3 epithelial cells was used to study the mechanis m of drug deposition, dissolution and diffusion/transp ort (Haghi et al., 2010 (Haghi et al., , 2012 .	./cache/cord-262442-kjgpriow.txt	./txt/cord-262442-kjgpriow.txt
