GSSI, a General Model for Solute-Solvent Interactions.
1. Description of the Model
A novel, semiempirical approach for the general treatment of
solute-solvent interactions (GSSI) was developed to enable
the prediction of solution-phase properties (e.g., free energies
of desolvation, partition coefficients, and membrane
permeabilities).

Classification of Membrane Permeability of Drug Candidates:
A Methodological Investigation
1040 drug candidates: training set 832; test set 208 compounds
High (>4 * 106 cm/s) and Low (<4 * 106 cm/s) membrane permeation
in a cell based assay
The best model: flexible bonds, HBD, MW, PSA
In the test set of 208 compounds 9% were not classified.
False positive rate was 0.08 and the sensitivity was 0.76.

In Silico Classification of Solubility using Binary k-Nearest
Neighbor and Physicochemical Descriptors
Turbidimetric on 518 drug candidates: training set 389; test set 129
Solubility: Low <0.02 mg/mL and High >0.02 mg/mL
clog D was found to be the descriptor that separated the two solubility
classes most efficiently
…the solubility model could be used to flag molecules with low
solubility in an early stage of discovery projects.

Pursuing the leadlikeness concept in pharmaceutical research
…what makes a good lead has been recognised with the concept of
leadlikeness. Leadlikeness implies cut-off values in the physicochemical profile of chemical libraries such that they have reduced
complexity (e.g. MW below <400) and other more restricted properties.
This supports the design and screening of ‘reduced complexity’
(leadlike) compound libraries…
