Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The biopharmaceutics drug disposition classification system (BDDCS) categorizes drugs into four classes on the basis of their solubility and metabolism. This framework allows for the study of the pharmacokinetics of transporters and enzymatic metabolization on biopharmaceuticals, as well as drug-drug interactions in the body. The objective of the present study was to develop computational models by neural network models and structural parameters and physicochemical properties to estimate the class of a drug in the BDDCS system.
