Abstract
Permeability is important in governing the ability of drug substances to transport across gastrointestinal membrane and also crucial for proper drug distribution to pharmacological target organs and cells, and is therefore frequently utilized in drug discovery and development. In this report, we have performed a systematic analysis, using principal component analysis on the historically measured permeability data from in-house Caco-2 and parallel artificial membrane permeability assays on discovery new chemical entities from multiple projects. This work allows for establishment of a permeability diagnosis model by purposefully identifying most influencing physicochemical properties of the permeability issues, including polarity-lipophilicity line contributed primarily by polar surface area and LogP, number of rotation bond, fractional ionization at neutral pH and efflux ratio. A number of cases were also shown to demonstrate the applicability of the current model. The analysis of the model over internal drug discovery compounds exhibited promising diagnostic and predictive power of the model. The advantages and limitation of the model as well as the integral strategy to apply it in drug discovery to guide projects for permeability-related optimization were also presented.
Keywords: Permeability diagnosis, ADME, oral absorption, gastrointestinal permeability, transporter, Caco-2 and PAMPA.

Adaptogens—History and Future Perspectives
Adaptogens are pharmacologically active compounds or plant extracts that are associated with the ability to enhance the body’s stability against stress. The intake of adaptogens is associated not only with a better ability to adapt to stress and maintain or normalise metabolic functions but also with better mental and physical ...read more
AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
Challenges, Consequences and Possible Treatments of Anticancer Drug Discovery ll
The use of several compounds has been the subject of increasing interest in phytochemistry, biochemistry, and other fields of research at the chemistry-biology-ecosystems interface. In spite of the continued search for new anticancer drugs, cancer remains a leading cause of death. Cancer mortalities are expected to increase to 12.9 million, ...read more
