Fragment contribution models for predicting skin permeability using HuskinDB.

ABSTRACT: Mathematical models to predict skin permeation tend to be based on animal derived experimental data as well as knowing physicochemical properties of the compound under investigation, such as molecular volume, polarity and lipophilicity. This paper presents a strikingly contrasting model to predict permeability, formed entirely from simple chemical fragment (functional group) data and a recently released, freely accessible human (i.e. non-animal) skin permeation database, known as the 'Human Skin Database - HuskinDB'. Data from within the database allowed development of several fragment-based models, each including a calculable effect for all of the most commonly encountered functional groups present in compounds within the database. The developed models can be applied to predict human skin
