Abstract

) but negatively with topological polar surface area (TPSA) and hydrogen bonding capacity (HBD, HBA). Principal component analysis (PCA) integrating physicochemical and permeability-related variables explained 63.8% of total variance and illustrated overall multivariate associations among variables. PCA was used as an exploratory visualization tool and suggested that permeability-related parameters were associated with lipophilicity and molecular polarity rather than chemical class alone. These observations provide descriptive insight into structure-permeability relationships but should be interpreted in conjunction with direct permeability measurements.
