Abstrakt: Background: Machine learning algorithms that can quickly and easily estimate skin permeability (Kp) are increasingly being used in drug delivery research. The linear free energy relationship (LFER) developed by Abraham is a practical technique for predicting Kp. The permeability coefficients and Abraham solute descriptor values for 175 organic compounds have been documented in the scientific literature. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to use a publicly available dataset to make skin permeability predictions using the random forest and XBoost regression techniques. Methods: We employed Pandas-based methods in JupyterLab to predict permeability coefficient (Kp) from solute descriptors (excess molar refraction [E], combined dipolarity/polarizability [S], overall solute hydrogen bond acidity and basicity [A and B], and the McGowan's characteristic molecular volume [V]). Results: The random forest and XG Boost regression models established statistically significant association between the descriptors and the skin permeability coefficient.
