Early pharmacokinetic optimisation is a key principle in drug discovery and development. Modeling absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) using experimentally-derived data is time-consuming and expensive. The use of computational in silico techniques to predict pharmacokinetic properties based on molecular structure is gaining wider validity and acceptance in the pharmaceutical industry. This book describes the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) as robust nonlinear modeling tools for developing quantitative structure-pharmacokinetic relationships (QSPkR). Different ANN...
