A 2D-QSPR approach to predict blood-brain barrier penetration of drugs acting on the central nervous system

Drugs acting on the central nervous system (CNS) have to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in order to perform their pharmacological actions. Passive BBB diffusion can be partially expressed by the blood/brain partition coefficient (logBB). As the experimental evaluation of logBB is time and cost...
