Abstract

The polar surface area of molecules is computed without reference to three dimensional molecular structures using a linear equation incorporating counts of nitrogens, oxygens, and related atom clusters. Methods and systems for predicting intestinal absorption of candidate compounds use the polar surface area and the octanol/water partition coefficient as descriptors.
