LogBB_Pred


Blood-Brain Barrier Permeablility (LogBB) Predictor
Conventional experimental approaches for blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability measurement are expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Thus, accurate prediction of BBB permeability of a compound is a major challenge in neurotherapeutic drug discovery. We developed a logBB prediction model (LogBB_Pred) using a large dataset for practical applications. This model can be used for compound screening in early stage of brain drug discovery.
