Prediction of Human Intestinal Absorption of Drug Compounds from Molecular Structure

  • Chapter

Abstract

Prediction of human intestinal absorption (HIA) is a major goal in the development of oral drugs. The application of combinatorial chemistry methods to drug discovery has dramatically increased the demand for rapid and efficient models for estimating HIA and other biopharmaceutical properties. While experimental methods for measurement of intestinal absorption have been developed and are used widely, computational approaches provide an attractive alternative.
