DrugAI_Drug-Likeness

Druglikeness may be defined as a complex balance of various molecular properties and structure features which determine whether particular molecule is similar to the known drugs. These properties, mainly hydrophobicity, electronic distribution, hydrogen bonding characteristics, molecule size and flexibility and of course presence of various pharmacophoric features influence the behavior of molecule in a living organism, including bioavailability, transport properties, affinity to proteins, reactivity, toxicity, metabolic stability and many others.

Ghose Filter

This filter defines drug-likeness constraints as follows:

calculated log P is between -0.4 and 5.6,

molecular weight is between 160 and 480,

molar refractivity is between 40 and 130,

total number of atoms is between 20 and 70.

Veber Filter

The Veber filter is a rule of thumb filter for orally active drugs described in Veber et. al., J Med Chem. 2002; 45(12): 2615-23.
