Lipid membrane permeation of drug molecules was investigated with Heterogeneous Dielectric Generalized Born (HDGB)-based models using solubility-diffusion theory and machine learning. Free energy profiles were obtained for neutral molecules by the st...
For efficient drug discovery and screening, it is necessary to simplify P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate assays and to provide in silico models that predict the transport potential of P-gp. In this study, we developed a simplified in vitro screening m...
For medicines, the apparent membrane permeability coefficients (P) across human colorectal carcinoma cell line (Caco-2) monolayers under a pH gradient generally correlate with the fraction absorbed after oral intake. Furthermore, the in vitro P value...

Membrane permeability of drug molecules plays a significant role in the development of new therapeutic agents. Accordingly, methods to predict the passive permeability of drug candidates during a medicinal chemistry campaign offer the potential to ac...
Cyclic peptides are gaining attention for their strong binding affinity, low toxicity, and ability to target "undruggable" proteins; however, their therapeutic potential against intracellular targets is constrained by their limited membrane permeabil...
MOTIVATION: There has been a burgeoning interest in cyclic peptide therapeutics due to their various outstanding advantages and strong potential for drug formation. However, it is undoubtedly costly and inefficient to use traditional wet lab methods ...
Drug discovery's success lies in potent inhibition against a target and optimum pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic properties of drug molecules. Membrane permeability is a crucial factor in determining the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and exc...
Developing effective antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria remains challenging due to their protective outer membrane. With this study, we investigated the relationship between antibiotic permeation through the OmpF porin of and antimicrobial e...
