Abstract: In current work, the correlations between Caco-2 permeability(lgPeff) and molecular structures were investigated using genetic algorithm(GA). A group of multiple regression models with good statistical significance were obtained based on a training set of 51 molecules, from the statistical analyses of the descriptors used in the evolution procedure, four of them, including the distribution coefficient(lgD), radius of gyration(rgyr), shadow-X length(length of molecule in the X dimension), and NHBD, may have the largest impact on diffusion through Caco-2 cell.
