The most important molecular descriptors in the logD and polarizability-independent data sets

Polarizability- and logD-independent subsets of the data set in this study were constructed to determine the molecular descriptors that are important for drug binding to BCRP from the membrane. The descriptors are listed in order of decreasing importance for the discrimination between BCRP inhibitors and noninhibitors in the respective subsets.


logD-Independent Data Set

Polarizability-Independent Data Set
π-System energy logD7.4
π-System resonance energy Relative surface area of nonpolar atoms
Surface area of N-sp2 Surface area of N-sp2
Lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy
