We developed a new computational model to predict skin permeability coefficients (k(p)). This data-driven approach uses molecular properties for reliable drug absorption predictions, enhancing pharmaceutical development.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacokinetics and Drug Delivery
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Accurate prediction of transdermal absorption is crucial for pharmaceutical development.
  • Existing methods for predicting skin permeability coefficients (k(p)) have limitations.
  • Data-driven approaches offer potential for improved predictive accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, data-driven predictive model for skin permeability coefficients (k(p)).
  • To enable reliable, purely computational prediction of transdermal absorption for diverse chemical structures.
  • To establish a robust model validated with experimental data.

Main Methods:

  • An ensemble model combining k-nearest-neighbor and ridge regression was employed.

  • The model was trained and validated using a newly curated dataset of 110 compounds.
  • Key computational descriptors included molecular weight, octanol/water partition coefficient, and solvation free energy.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed model accurately predicts skin permeability coefficients (k(p)).
    • Leave-one-out cross-validation yielded a high correlation coefficient (Q = 0.948).
    • The model demonstrated robustness with a mean standard error of 0.2 for log k(p).

    Conclusions:

    • A reliable, purely computational model for predicting skin permeability coefficients has been established.
    • The model leverages readily available molecular descriptors for practical application.
    • This approach facilitates efficient drug candidate screening for transdermal delivery.
