Relationship of octanol/water partition coefficient and molecular weight to rat brain capillary permeability

J Med Chem. 1980 Jun;23(6):682-4. doi: 10.1021/jm00180a022.

Abstract

The rat brain capillary permeability coefficient was determined for 27 compounds. The relationship of permeability to octanol/water partition coefficient and molecular weight was found to be predictable for drugs with molecular weights less than 400.
