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 and blood brain barrier penetration of candidate compounds use the polar surface area and the octanol/water partition coefficient as descriptors.
